1947 Canada 10 Cents George VI Silver Coin (Bluenose)
This 1947 Canada 10 Cents silver coin was issued during the reign of King George VI, a pivotal period that included the end of World War II and the early postwar years in Canada. The obverse features the portrait of George VI with the Latin legend “GEORGIVS VI D:G: REX ET IND: IMP.,” while the reverse displays the iconic Bluenose schooner — Canada’s most celebrated sailing vessel — with the denomination “10 CENTS” and date “1947.” Struck in .800 fine silver at the Royal Canadian Mint, these coins circulated widely as everyday currency during Canada’s transition from wartime to peacetime economy. As part of the George VI series that carried the Bluenose design introduced in 1937, this circulated example offers collectors a tangible connection to mid-20th-century Canadian history and an affordable piece of silver coinage with strong national symbolism from the final years of the sterling silver era in Canada.
