Description
DESCRIPTION:
Bluenose sails onto our 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 our “minted in Winnipeg” series.
