A beautiful coin. Well designed and well packaged. Money well spent
Fifty years ago, as a young nation celebrated its centennial anniversary, the Royal Canadian Mint issued a special series of circulation coins that are now regarded as some of the most iconic Canadian coins of all time. The third coin in this continuing Big Coin series faithfully re-creates Alex Colville’s concept for the ten- cent coin from the 1967 Canadian Centennial circulation coins—albeit on a much larger scale.
SPECIAL FEATURES
DESIGN
The reverse re-creates the unforgettable 1967 10-cent circulation coin design by Canadian artist Alex Colville, and features the side profile of a mackerel. Detailed engraving captures its likeness, including its large eye and fins. The image is enhanced by the application of selective gold plating over the mackerel and all along the coin’s rim. The reverse also features the engraved face value “10 CENTS”, the word “CANADA” and the commemorative dates “1967-2017”.
