Canada: Heraldic Lion $50 Silver 2025 Proof High Relief

The Canada: Heraldic Lion $50 Silver 2025 Proof High Relief coin features the majestic lion, which, though not found in the wilds of Canada, holds an important place in Canadian heraldry. The heraldic lion appears on both the crest and shield of the Coat of Arms of Canada, symbolizing the country’s sovereignty, historic ties to the United Kingdom, and virtues of bravery, courage, and strength. This 99.99% pure silver coin depicts the lion in a heraldically stylized forward-facing pose in Extraordinarily High Relief, while the floral wreath is engraved in Ultra High Relief, creating varying relief heights that catch the eye.

The coin follows the 2025 Heraldic Bear series, offering a fresh take on emblematic Canadian art with the lion, present in many official Canadian emblems. The wreath contains floral elements from the Arms of Canada, and both sides feature a woodgrain pattern. Limited mintage of 2,000 coins worldwide.

Obverse features the portrait of King Charles III, with his name and royal inscriptions.

Reverse depicts the heraldic lion in Extraordinarily High Relief with the wreath in Ultra High Relief, along with the year of issue, the issuing country, and the face value.
