BLUENOSE 100th Anniversary 7-Coin Canadian Commemorative Collector Set commemorates the 100th anniversary of the launch of the Bluenose, the famous Nova Scotia schooner that has graced our 10-cent coins since 1937, with a special colourized and non-colourized version of the original 10-cent dime.
The 2021 commemorative dime is available as either a struck-only or coloured coin (it’s the first ever coloured dime), and BONUS because you get BOTH dimes in this special collector set, along with the orginal dime too! Yes! All three dimes are included in this keepsake collection of Canadian circulation coins, alongside the yearly classic 2021 non-circulating coins: $2, $1, .25 & .05.
DID YOU KNOW? There was nothing blue about Bluenose—the ship’s hull was painted black and red with a yellow strip. “Bluenose” is a nickname for Nova Scotians, and the use of the term dates back to at least 1785. Seven other ships bore the name Bluenose before the famous schooner, and all were built in New Brunswick or Nova Scotia shipyards.
