It was 150 years ago that a newly minted country issued its first coins. To mark this anniversary, Leonard C. Wyon’s historic maple bough design has been brought back to life on a limited $10 commemorative piece that proudly pays tribute to Canada’s first national coinage. So don’t miss this exclusive opportunity to own a piece of the past that has been lovingly preserved in 99.99% pure gold.

Double dated (“1870 – 2020”) to commemorate the 150th anniversary of Canada’s first national coinage, the reverse is a reproduction of Leonard C. Wyon’s crossed maple boughs design surmounted by St. Edward’s Crown, as seen on the four denominations (5, 10, 25 and 50 cents) of coins issued by the Dominion of Canada in 1870. The obverse features the “laureate” effigy of Queen Victoria by Leonard C. Wyon, as it appeared on the historic 5- and 10-cent coins.
