Bluenose sails onto the Royal Canadian Mint's fifth Tribute: W Mint Mark coin.

Out of Canada’s six classic circulation coin designs, Emanuel Hahn’s concept for the 10-cent piece easily stands out: it’s the only one that doesn’t feature an animal (not even a heraldic one). Instead, its stirring portrait of Bluenose, the legendary racing and fishing schooner from Nova Scotia, speaks to the magnitude of the fishing industry and Canada’s rich maritime heritage. Hahn’s beloved depiction of Bluenose is re-created here in 99.99% pure silver, with a tailored specimen finish that brings renewed appreciation for a Canadian icon whose spirit still sails on.

Fifth coin in RCM's “minted in Winnipeg” series.

COIN HIGHLIGHTS

PACKAGING

Your coin is encapsulated and presented in a black Royal Canadian Mint-branded clamshell with a black beauty box.

“W” MINT MARK

Coin 5 in a six-part series of 1 oz. 99.99% pure silver coins – a rarity for the Winnipeg Mint, which typically focuses its efforts on circulation coins rather than numismatic ones, and that’s why the “W” mint mark is so unique.

TAILORED SPECIMEN FINISH

While the reverse design has a captivating satin sheen to it, the field’s textured appearance is the result of angled lines inspired by the Winnipeg Mint’s pyramid-shaped building.

DID YOU KNOW?

Similar to how Emanuel Hahn’s caribou design was originally intended for a different denomination than the one it’s associated with today, the “fishing schooner under sail” concept was initially considered for the 25 cents before being chosen for the 10-cent coin.

A numismatic tribute to Canada’s 10-cent circulation piece, this all-silver coin’s reverse features Emanuel Hahn’s depiction of the iconic Bluenose fishing schooner under sail, along with the “W” (Winnipeg) mint mark denoting where this coin was struck. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.

STRUCK IN WINNIPEG: THE BLUENOSE DIME

Canada’s smallest circulation coin – smaller even than the now-retired cent or penny – hasn’t featured many alternate designs since Bluenose first appeared on its reverse in 1937. But all of Canada’s 10-cent circulation coins have been struck at our Winnipeg facility since 1976, including 1992’s double-dated 125th Anniversary of Canadian Confederation 10-cent coin, 2001’s Year of the Volunteer, 2017’s 150th Anniversary of Canadian Confederation, and the first-ever coloured 10-cent circulation coin in 2021.

ABOUT THE ROYAL CANADIAN MINT

The Royal Canadian Mint is known as one of the most reputable mints in the world. The Ottawa Branch of the Royal Mint opened in 1908 and was renamed The Royal Canadian Mint in 1931 when control was transferred to the Canadian government. Their high standards for excellence and quality allowed them to be the first refinery to manufacture 9999 fine gold bullion coins in 1982, as well as the first to reach 99999 fine gold purity in 1998.
