Canadian 10-cent coin · 2017

Canada 150/My Canada, My Inspiration: Wings of Peace

Part of the My Canada, My Inspiration 2017 collection, designed by Amy Choi. One continuous flow of lines sketches out a dynamic, iconic maple leaf that is clutched in the beak and also part of the dove itself.

What a coin with this design is made of

Every 10-cent coin carrying this design falls outside the years the Mint records a silver-bearing composition for. There is no silver in any of them, so there is no melt value to work out. What one of these is worth depends on condition and on the date, and this site does not publish figures for either.

Across the years the Mint reports for this design, 20,000,000 10-cent coins were struck.
