2026 $50 Heraldic Lion Fine Silver Coin

This 2026 $50 fine silver coin offers a fresh twist on emblematic art by reimagining a Canadian heraldic lion. You won't find a lion in the wilds of Canada, but the noble king of beasts holds a lofty place in Canadian heraldry. Displayed on both the crest and shield of the Coat of Arms of Canada, and as one of its supporters, the heraldic lion symbolizes both Canada's sovereignty and our historic ties to the United Kingdom, while also embodying the virtues of bravery, courage and strength.

Backed by a woodgrain pattern, the design by Cathy Bursey-Sabourin features a lion depicted in a heraldically stylized manner within a cartouche frame. The lion is presented in a forward-facing pose and engraved in extraordinarily high relief, and the surrounding wreath is engraved in ultra-high relief and consists of floral emblems from the Arms of Canada: the Tudor rose of England, the thistle of Scotland, the shamrock of Ireland, the lily of France, and Canada's maple leaf-along with seed pods, flower buds and maple keys signifying renewal and hope for the future. The woodgrain pattern also appears on the obverse, which features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.
