For the first time since Bluenose appeared on Canada's 10-cent circulation coin in 1937, the Royal Canadian Mint has re-designed the image of the famous fishing schooner. This new design by Nova Scotia marine artist Yves Bérubé is being issued in celebration of Bluenose's 100th anniversary. To add to this historic occasion, the Mint is also launching Canada's first-ever coloured dimes, featuring a touch of blue that brings to life the North Atlantic waters that Bluenose ruled throughout its illustrious career. All other 10-cent coins manufactured this year with the classic schooner reverse design are also being doubled-dated "1921-2021" in recognition of this milestone anniversary.
