Historic Canadian Ten Dollars, struck at the Ottawa branch of the Royal Mint in 1913. This was the final issue in a short-lived series of gold $5 and $10 coins that were minted in Canada from locally mined gold before the outbreak of the First World War. These highly collectable coins are known for their crowned portrait of the reigning monarch, King George V, and their distinctive coat-of-arms and maple-leaf reverse, designed by British engraver William Henry James Blakemore. Just 149,232 Canadian gold $10 coins were struck in solid .900 gold in 1913, and many were retained by the Bank of Canada, meaning they are often available in excellent condition.

Description Specification Summary

Canadian Ten Dollar Gold Coins

These Ten Dollar coins were struck at the Ottawa branch of the Royal Mint between 1912 and 1914, alongside a similar Five Dollar coin, both struck from gold mined locally in the Klondike and Ontario.

Maple Leaf Wreath Reverse

The reverse, created by Royal Mint engraver WHJ Blakemore, features Canada's historic coat of arms framed by a wreath of maple leaves. The inscription 'TEN DOLLARS' and the date sit below, with 'CANADA' above.

Crowned Head Of King George V

Bertram Mackennal's crowned portrait of King George V is shown on the obverse of this 1913 coin. This elaborate effigy was only used on colonial coinage. The legend reads 'GEORGIVS V DEI GRA: REX ET IND: IMP:'.

.900 Gold Canadian Currency

Canadian gold Ten Dollar coins were originally struck in about 16.72 grams of solid .900 (90%) fine gold. Copper makes up the remainder of the alloy, lending these George V coins durability and an appealing reddish gold tone.

Low Mintage Historic Canadian Coin

1913 $10 coins have the highest mintage of the short-lived series, with 149,232 issued in this year. Many of these were retained by the Bank of Canada and sold as part of the Bank of Canada Hoard and, as such, did not circulate.
