2007 – 10 Cents Dime Canada

The 2007 Canadian 10-cent coin, commonly known as the dime, features a stylized schooner called the Bluenose with tall sails on its reverse, designed by Emanuel Hahn. The obverse shows an uncrowned bust of Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt, with the Royal Canadian Mint’s stylized maple leaf logo below the Queen’s effigy, marking the coin’s composition as copper-plated steel (92% steel, 5.5% copper, 2.5% nickel). It measures 18.03 mm in diameter, weighs 1.75 grams, and has a reeded edge. The British monarch’s effigy faces right, and the coin carries the inscriptions “CANADA 2007 10 CENTS” on the reverse and “ELIZABETH II D – G – REGINA” on the obverse. This coin is magnetic due to its steel core. The “Straight 7” variety of the date is recognized for this year’s minting. Approximately 304 million coins were circulated in this type, and it was produced in circulation and uncirculated finishes by the Royal Canadian Mint.
