Canada’s 2021 10-cent coin commemorates the 100th anniversary of the launch of Bluenose, the famous Nova Scotia schooner that has graced our 10-cent coins since 1937. The 2021 commemorative dime is available as either a struck-only or coloured coin (it’s our first coloured dime), but both are included in this keepsake collection of Canadian circulation coins. The 2021 keepsake features seven (7) Canadian circulation coins issued in 2021: 5-cent coin, a struck-only 10-cent Bluenose coin, a coloured 10-cent Bluenose coin, 10-cent coin, 25-cent coin, $1 coin, and $2 coin.

About the 10-cent coin
The reverse design by Canadian marine artist Yves Bérubé is double dated (“1921 – 2021”) to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the launch of Canada’s most famous ship. The engraved portrait shows Bluenose under full sail and heeled to port on the open ocean, which is painted blue on the coloured coin. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
