"This commemorative Bluenose coin will remind all Nova Scotians how our connection to the sea and our innovative spirit has created our determination to succeed."
Yves Bérubé is the Nova Scotian artist who gave the Canadian dime a new look. The design depicts the Bluenose with sails out, tilted to port in the open sea.
In a coloured version, the sea is tinted blue to evoke the North Atlantic. The years "1921-2021" also appear on all versions of the new design, celebrating the ship's 100th anniversary.
A total of 6 million coloured coins and 9 million uncoloured coins entered circulation on October 22.
