Ten Cent (10c) - Big Coin Series - 2019 Canada Pure Silver Reverse Gold Plating - Royal Canadian Mint

Canada’s beautifully designed 10-cent piece continues to bear Emanuel Hahn’s iconic image of a fishing schooner and racing legend that will forever sail in the hearts of Canadians. Though based in part on the famous Nova Scotian schooner, Bluenose, the image on Canada’s 10-cent piece is a composite created from photos of three vessels—one of which was Bluenose. The association with the famous schooner remains steadfast due to the popularity of the champion fishing and racing vessel, which launched at Lunenburg, N.S., in 1921.

The reverse features Canadian artist Emanuel Hahn’s iconic image of a stylized schooner with tall sails flying as it sails the open sea. Reverse gold plating fills the field while the coin’s silver surface draws the eye to the engraved relief, which includes the word “CANADA”, the date “2019” and the face value of “10 CENTS”. The reverse gold-plated obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
