Overview

The obverse features the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, wearing a diadem. The inscription 'CANADA' is at the top, '10 CENTS' on the left, and the year '2001' on the right.

Historical significance

This coin features the fourth effigy of Queen Elizabeth II used on Canadian coinage, designed by Dora de Pédery-Hunt. By 2001, the Royal Canadian Mint had fully transitioned to multi-ply plated steel for cost-efficiency reasons.

Estimated value

$0.10 - $0.50 USD (Face value or slightly above for uncirculated specimens)

Care & preservation

Store in a cool, dry place to prevent oxidation. Avoid cleaning with abrasive chemicals as it can damage the multi-ply plating; handle by the edges to prevent oils from skin transferring to the surface.
