<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dillan, post: 3193517, member: 90539&quot;]The 1977 50 cent was a year when they tried some new design changes . They made the bust of the Queen smaller, the legend was also smaller, the beads were enlarged and moved a bit further away from the rim . On the reverse the coat of arms was reduced so they could put beads around the outside instead of having denticles. This was all done to improve the performance of the die. There were only 710,000 coins minted. The lowest mintage since the 1955 50 cent coin.&nbsp;&nbsp; Information is from A Guide Book of Canadian Coins and Tokens&nbsp; by James A. Haxby .&nbsp; A very worthwhile book to buy for information on Canadian Coins and Tokens , and I do not think it is all that expensive. Last time I looked on Amazon for a book they still had this version for sale.&nbsp; I hope this helps a little.&nbsp;&nbsp; Dillan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
