2020 - 10 Cents - 1/10 oz. Pure Gold Coin - Tribute to Alex Colville Series: 1967 10 Cents Coin

Colville's 1967 10-Cent coin now struck in 99.99% pure gold.

It is the image that defines the 10-cent circulation coin issued in 1967, Canada's centennial year. The mackerel symbol of our nation's coastal heritage is re-created on this larger-sized, pure gold tribute to its creator, artist Alex Colville (1920-2013), on what would have been his 100th birthday (August 24).
