It's the shield of Canada....we were fortunate to have silver coins until 1966 versus 1964 for the US....we did have some 50% silver in 1967 + 1968 which had both silver and clad versions.

It is a beautiful coin. I love everything about Canada. It has been my favorite place to visit..... Except Hawaii which is hard to top. God bless great dig, Al.

Canadian silver halves are great! And a great find I might add :)

I collect the silver halves & dollars. They sure are purty :)
