Design:
The reverse recreates the 50-cent circulation coin from 1967 designed by Canadian artist Alex Colville, and features the side profile of a howling wolf. Detailed engraving recreates the animal's outline and conveys the texture of its fur as it sits on its hind legs, its head tilted up to the sky to release its cry into the air. The image is enhanced by the application of selective gold plating over the wolf and all along the coin's rim. The reverse also features a special mark "100 YEARS/ANS – ALEX COLVILLE"to commemorate the centennial of the artist'sbirth, the words "50 CENTS", "CANADA" and the date "2020". The obverse features selective gold plating on the second effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Arnold Machin.
A competition launched in 1964 invited Canadian artists, sculptors and designers to submit their designs for the circulation coins that would be issued in 1967 for the 100th anniversary of Canadian Confederation.A $2,500 prize was to be awarded for the winning design in each of the coin denominations; but without a clear winner, five more artists were asked to submit their coin concepts.On April 20, 1966, a winner was finally announced: Canadian painter Alex Colville of Sackville, N.B. Some of his most famous paintings include Horse and Train and To Prince Edward Island.
