About the 1967 Canada Elizabeth II, Confederation; 80% Silver 10 Cents Proof
The reverse carries the dual dates of Confederation and its centennial in place of the usual single date. The obverse shows Arnold Machin's 2nd portrait of Elizabeth II, depicting the Queen wearing a tiara. This version was struck in .800 fine silver alloyed with .200 copper, continuing the traditional standard for Canadian small silver coinage. Rising silver prices soon prompted the Mint to reduce the fineness to .500 during the commemorative issue, so collectors carefully separate the 80% silver pieces from their lower fineness counterparts, which look identical and can only be told apart by testing or specific gravity.
