A rare connection to North America’s maritime heritage.

Forged from a genuine Newfoundland 50 Cent coin, this ring preserves a piece of Canadian and maritime history in .925 fine silver. Struck in small quantities between 1870 and 1947, the 50 Cent coin was one of the highest‑denomination coins in circulation for the former British colony of Newfoundland, and today these coins are cherished for their scarcity and artistry.

Each ring retains the coin’s beautiful raised designs—King George V or VI’s crowned profile on one side and the bold “50 CENTS” denomination framed by elegant scrollwork and date on the other. Sized for a balanced presence, the Newfoundland 50 Cent Coin Ring is ideal for small to medium‑sized hands or for those seeking a ring that wears comfortably without sacrificing character or story.

Hand‑forged from .925 sterling silver, this ring is a tangible connection to North America’s rich maritime heritage and one of the rarest coins ever placed into circulation on the continent.

A rare artifact of Newfoundland’s maritime past, brought back to life.

Forged from a genuine Newfoundland 50 Cent coin, this ring captures a unique chapter of North American history. These coins were minted between 1870 and 1947 in .925 sterling silver for the British colony of Newfoundland, then a rugged island nation heavily shaped by its maritime culture. At the time, the 50 Cent coin was the colony’s highest‑value circulating currency, making it a prized possession in its day.

Each ring preserves the original designs in sharp relief—King George V or VI’s crowned portrait on one side, and the reverse’s bold “50 CENTS” denomination framed by elegant scrollwork and the coin’s date on the other. Sized for balanced comfort, it’s ideal for small to medium‑sized hands or for anyone who wants a ring that carries authentic history without being overwhelming on the finger.

Struck in .925 fine silver and hand‑forged to order, the Newfoundland 50 Cent Coin Ring is a scarce and meaningful piece you’ll wear proudly and pass down as an heirloom.

A coin from a vanished currency system.

The Newfoundland 50 Cent coin was minted between 1870 and 1947, when Newfoundland was a separate British colony and dominion before joining the Canadian Confederation in 1949. Struck in .925 fine silver, these coins were produced in limited numbers and used widely across the island’s shipping ports and fishing communities.

Early issues bore the portrait of Queen Victoria, later transitioning to Edward VII, George V, and finally George VI. The reverse design, with its distinctive date and “50 CENTS” denomination framed by ornate scrollwork, reflects a Victorian‑era style that made these coins stand out from those used in neighboring Canada.

Today, surviving Newfoundland 50 Cent coins are scarce reminders of a unique chapter in North America’s numismatic history, especially when transformed into a ring that preserves their original artistry.

Minted between 1870 and 1947, the Newfoundland 50 Cent coin represents a currency system that no longer exists.

At the time, Newfoundland was an independent British colony and dominion, existing outside of the Canadian Confederation until 1949. The 50 Cent coin was one of its largest and most important denominations, used across the island’s fishing villages, bustling shipping ports, and trading posts.

Struck in .925 fine silver, these coins were produced in small numbers and feature a blend of colonial and Victorian design influences: a crowned monarch’s portrait on the obverse and an ornate “50 CENTS” denomination surrounded by scrollwork and the coin’s date on the reverse. Today, they are prized for their scarcity and connection to a lost era of North American maritime life.

Hand‑forged to preserve every detail.

Each ring begins as a genuine Newfoundland 50 Cent coin, carefully selected for its condition and character. Using a multi‑stage hand‑forging process, we shape the coin into a ring while retaining the monarch’s crowned portrait, the ornate scrollwork, the denomination, and the date.

No casting or mass production is involved—each ring is individually forged, polished, and finished by hand. Available in a brilliant polished finish for maximum shine or a classic antique patina that adds depth and accentuates the coin’s historic design.

Balanced in weight and width, the ring is particularly well‑suited for those who want a substantial yet comfortable ring with deep historical roots.

Every ring is forged one at a time from a genuine Newfoundland 50 Cent coin.

Our craftsmen use a careful, multi‑stage process to preserve the crowned portrait, scrollwork, date, and denomination as the coin is shaped into a ring. Nothing is cast or mass‑produced. Each piece is individually forged, finished, and inspected by hand.
