    Offered here is a 1906 Canada 50-cent silver coin, struck during the reign of King Edward VII.
    The obverse features Edward VII facing right, with the Latin legend “EDWARDVS VII DEI GRATIA REX IMPERATOR.”
    The reverse displays the Canadian coat of arms surrounded by a maple leaf wreath, a timeless national design used on early 20th-century coinage.

    The 1906 issue is one of the tougher Edward VII half dollars to find, with a relatively low mintage and few surviving in higher grades.
