2022 Canadian 10-Cent The Bigger Picture: Bluenose - 5 oz Fine Silver Coin

2022 Canadian 10-Cent The Bigger Picture: Bluenose - 5 oz Fine Silver Coin

Canada’s circulation coins are a part of our everyday lives and collectors have come to know every design element and variation. But what if these familiar images only told part of the story?

The successor to our popular Big Coin series, The Bigger Picture zooms in on Canada’s circulation coins and zooms out to reveal there’s a lot more story to discover! Like a coin within a coin, each circulation design is re-created on a larger 5 oz. fine silver piece that provides an extended canvas for the engraved-only art.

The first coin in the Bigger Picture series re-imagines Canada’s 10-cent circulation coin, shifting the focus to the Bluenose’s legacy as a working fishing vessel, and it shines a silvery spotlight on the dorymen who were the backbone of the North Atlantic fishery.

Features:

5 OZ. OF PURE SILVER! Each of the coins in this series are crafted from five ounces of the world’s finest silver (99.99% pure). That high silver content gives each coin a diameter of 65.25 mm and a metal weight of 157.6 g – the same as our popular Big Coin series – and that provides ample room for complex engraving and captivating designs.
LOW MINTAGE! An exciting collecting opportunity for those who love Canada’s circulation coins with a limited mintage. Only 1,300 coins are available worldwide.
INCLUDES SERIALIZED CERTIFICATE! The Royal Canadian Mint certifies all of its collector coins.
NO GST/HST

Design:

Your coin’s reverse features Emanuel Hahn’s 10-cent circulation coin design with a new, expanded scene by Canadian marine artist Yves Bérubé. On the Grand Banks, off the coast of Newfoundland, two fishermen toil at the oars of a wooden dory, while their bait attracts seabirds. Canada’s most famous ship, Bluenose, can be seen in the distance, where the waves from the original coin design extend outward to form a unified horizon. The obverse features a maple leaf pattern and the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.

Packaging:

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