What a coin with this design is made of

This design spans the change in metal. Of the 87 years the Mint reports it, 30 are silver-bearing and 57 are not, which means two coins with the same picture on the back can be entirely different things. The date is what separates them.

Across the years the Mint reports for this design, 10,587,112,244 10-cent coins were struck.

Denomination

Canadian 10-cent coin

Sterling silver to 1919, 80% silver to 1967, pure nickel from 1968 and plated steel from 2000. The smallest Canadian coin and the one most often found in a jar.
