I just learned something! I always thought the Queen was on the front of coins. But I haven't dealt with Canadian or British coins for long

@Jonah_h ;
That coin is from a set specially struck for collectors,(PL or SP), it was never intended for circulation
@Bump111 ;
The Queen is on the front (obverse).
This is case for all Canadian coins regardless of which side the date appears on.

 with DBM - looks like a prooflike (PL) strike to me. When it comes to nickel composition business strike 50c coins, 1979 is one of the tougher years to find in MS-64 or better (only 1985 is harder).

Most dealers sell PL singles of nickel-composition for one to two dollars...
