Canada’s 2021 10-cent coin commemorates the 100th anniversary of the launch of Bluenose, the famous Nova Scotia schooner that has graced our 10-cent coins since 1937. The 2021 commemorative dime is available as either a struck-only or coloured coin (it’s the first coloured dime), but both are included in this keepsake collection of Canadian circulation coins, alongside the yearly classic 2021 non-circulating coins: $2, $1, .25, .10., & .05.
BONUS: With your purchase you will also receive a Brand New 1998 Booklette published by Vanwell Publishing Limited, entitled, "THE SAGA OF THE BLUENOSE", by Ernest Fraser Robinson. This is the complete story of the BLUENOSE, told especially for young people, of how she was built, and how she became famous around the world!
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.
