Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 10 Cents - Victoria 1858-1901 coin from Canada is that it was designed by Leonard Charles Wyon, a renowned engraver and artist who was responsible for creating the portrait of Queen Victoria that appears on the coin. Wyon's design was based on a portrait of the Queen that he had created for a medal commemorating her visit to the 1851 Great Exhibition in London. The coin's design has become iconic and is still recognized today as a symbol of Canadian currency.
