Canada Ten Dollar Gold Coins
The Canadian gold Ten Dollar coin is a sought-after denomination, struck between 1912 and 1914 by the Ottawa branch of the Royal Mint from gold mined in the Klondike and Ontario.
Portrait Of King George V
The obverse of this 1914 coin bears a crowned portrait of King George V by Edgar Bertram MacKennal, together with an abbreviated Latin inscription that reads 'GEORGIVS V DEI GRA: REX ET IND: IMP:'.
Canadian Coat Of Arms Reverse
The reverse was designed by WHJ Blakemore (1871-1945) and features the quartered arms of the four original provinces of Canada surrounded by maple leaves with 'CANADA' above and '1914' and 'TEN DOLLARS' below.
900 Gold $10 Coin
These gold coins were originally struck in about 16.72 grams of solid .900 (90%) gold. They measure 26.92 millimetres in diameter and feature a readed edge. Canadian $10 coins are the same size as American gold Eagles.
1914 Canada $10 Mintage
140,068 gold Canadian Ten Dollar coins were minted in 1914 as the final issue in this short-lived series. This is somewhat lower than the 1913-dated issue, of which 149,232 were struck.
