Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1974 Canadian $10 Elizabeth II (Head of Zeus) silver coin is that it features a unique reverse design that depicts the head of Zeus, the king of the gods in Greek mythology. This design was created by Canadian artist and sculptor, Emanuel Hahn, and it is not found on any other Canadian coin. The inclusion of Zeus' head on the coin was meant to symbolize the connection between ancient Greek mythology and the modern Canadian state.
