Artist Emanuel Hahn developed his design for the 10-cent coin from photos of the famous Bluenose schooner. It is meant to symbolize both the magnitude of the fishing industry in Canada and the maritime skills of Canadians. The Bluenose was not only a racing schooner, but also one of the great fishing vessels that helped build the reputation of the Grand Banks fishery. The design was first issued in 1937.
Design
The obverse design depicts the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II or King George VI (depending on the year).
This coin depicts the Bluenose under sail, a Canadian schooner from Nova Scotia, a celebrated racing ship and a symbol of the province. It is surrounded with the facial value, the year of issue and the inscription “CANADA”.
Packaging
The 10-Cent Bluenose Schooner Dime Silver Coins comes in a TTC warp roll.
