1992 – 10 Cents Dime Canada

The 1992 Canadian 10-cent coin, also known as the dime, commemorates the 125th anniversary of Canadian Confederation. It bears a double date “1867-1992” to mark this significant milestone. The coin features the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse side, showing her wearing a circular diamond crown decorated with roses, shamrocks, and thistles. The reverse side depicts the famous Bluenose schooner, a celebrated Canadian racing and fishing vessel, symbolizing Canada’s maritime heritage. This coin retains the standard size and composition of Canadian dimes from that period, primarily nickel before the transition to steel-based composition in 2001. The 1992 anniversary dime is noted for its blend of historical significance and traditional design, produced by the Royal Canadian Mint.
