2017 (1867-) Canadian 10-Cent Wings of Peace 150th Anniv Dime Coin (Brilliant Uncirculated)

The 2017 Wings of Peace is the most recent commemorative issue of the 10-cent coin. As part of the My Canada, My Inspiration collection commemorating CANADA 150, it features a reverse design by Amy Choi of Calgary, Alta., and highlights Canada’s reputation as a peacekeeping nation. Instead of a traditional olive branch, the stylized dove clutches a maple leaf that stands as a symbol of hope, peace and good faith.

Design

The obverse design by Dora de Pedry-Hunt and Ago Aarand depicts the portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in right profile, when she was 77 years old. It is surrounded with the inscription "ELIZABETH II D • G • REGINA". The RCM Maple Leaf privy sits under the bust.

This coin, designed by Amy Choi, depicts an airborne maple leaf that is clutched in the beak of a dove and forms the bird’s wings in one continuous flow. It is surrounded with the facial value, the year of issue and the inscription "CANADA".
