About the 1967 Canada Elizabeth II, Confederation; 50% Silver 10 Cents
Colville's reverse shows a mackerel swimming gracefully across the field, a tribute to the fisheries that have long sustained the Atlantic provinces and shaped the national economy. It is 1 of 6 animal themed designs that together form 1 of the most admired sets in Canadian numismatics. The obverse carries Arnold Machin's 2nd portrait of Elizabeth II, depicting the Queen wearing a tiara, a portrait that would become a fixture of Canadian coinage for much of her reign. This type was produced during a pivotal moment in monetary history. Because the 2 compositions share an identical design and weight, telling them apart usually requires specific gravity testing or other analytical methods, and this challenge has long attracted specialists who seek to assemble both varieties.
