2005 First Day Cover 10-Cent Coin
In 1920, the Halifax Herald newspaper established the International Fisherman's Trophy racing series for bona fide working ships. The Bluenose was built and launched in Lunenburg in 1921 to compete for the trophy and remained unbeaten for 18 years! The coin itself was made of nickel from 1968 to 2001 when it was changed to nickel plated steel. This coin is housed in a colourful illustrated folder.
