Comment
This year (2021) marks the 100th anniversary of the launch of Bluenose, the pride of Nova Scotia and a Canadian icon! The centennial is commemorated on Canada’s 2021 10-cent circulation coins, which are featured here.
To commemorate the centennial anniversary of Canada’s iconic schooner, three different Bluenose commemorative dimes have been issued in 2021.
The reverse design by Canadian marine artist Yves Bérubé is double dated (“1921 - 2021”) to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the launch of Canada’s most famous ship. The engraved portrait shows Bluenose under full sail and heeled to port on the open ocean, which is painted blue on the coloured coin. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
Interesting fact
The interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique sailboat design, the Bluenose, which is a famous Canadian schooner that was built in 1921 and has won many races, including the International Fisherman's Trophy. The coin's design is a tribute to Canada's maritime history and the iconic Bluenose, which has become a symbol of Canadian pride and identity.
