History of 80% Silver Canadian Half Dollars

Beginning in 1858, Canadian coins were produced across the globe in England, by the Royal Canadian Mint in London and the Heaton Mint in Birmingham. Twelve years later, the Canadian Silver Half Dollar was introduced, composed of .925 sterling silver, bearing the image of Queen Victoria of England.

Yet as the Canadian population continued to grow, so did the demand for an independent mint, and in 1901, the Royal Canadian Mint was authorized. It opened its doors in Ottawa seven years later. In 1920, the silver content of the Canadian Half Dollar was reduced to .800 — where it remained until 1968.

The Royal Canadian Mint (or the Monnaie Royale Canadienne as it is known in French) is the Crown Corporation that produces all of Canada’s circulation coins. It is the world’s only mint to issue commemorative coins in a .9999 fineness, while also striking bullion coins and bars, medallions, and even tokens.
