2026 Whimsical Winter Lenticular 50-Cent Coin

Winter is a magical time in Canada, and the magic of the season is showcased on this large-format 2026 lenticular 50-cent coin. Celebrate the joy of the season with Canada's circulation coin animals having fun on the ice! With every tilt, the lenticular image shifts between day and snowy night, each angle revealing a moment of cheer, as these four friends make the most of a winter day. Like a snow globe come to life, it's the kind of scene that captures the simple joys and cozy magic of the season—a winter wonderland where snowflakes dance, scarves fly and even a tumble turns into a giggle-worthy memory.

The colourful trees form a fantastical backdrop to the playful antics of four animal friends. The loon looks on as the beaver and polar bear skate across the frozen pond, and the caribou wobbles on skis. When the coin is tilted, the friends are still making the most of this winter day, undaunted by the snow and cold as evening sets in; the caribou and loon, who have each taken a tumble, smile at the sight of the beaver sliding on its tail while being pulled by the polar bear, who calmly skates along. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.
