Hunting for Canada Decimal Coins to Add to Your Collection

July 28, 2020 by Colonial Acres Coins

A lot of the fun of coin collecting isn’t owning them but finding and acquiring them. Although finishing a set of coins is something to be proud of, for most numismatists, it is the journey rather than the destination that matters.

Canada decimal coins provide a great playground for enjoying the thrill of the hunt. Many pieces are relatively affordable compared to coins with a face value of $1 or more. However, there are also some hidden gems to uncover in your search.

Hunting for the Perfect Addition to Your Collection

Finding the perfect addition for your collection can be a truly rewarding experience. However, in many ways, it isn’t the actual find that creates that sense of pride, but all the work you put in beforehand. It can also be the meaning and symbolism behind the coin that makes it so worthwhile. When you find the perfect piece at the right price, all that effort, research and care pays off.

The community is another part of the fun. No matter where you live, there is almost certainly a nearby numismatist society or a chapter of a national group. Sharing the joy of the hunt with each other can make it even more meaningful. This also makes it a perfect activity for parents to share with their children.

Whether you are looking for something to round out a collection or just a singularly special coin, Canada decimal coins can offer what you are seeking. Below are a couple of examples of decimal coins that may be just right for your collection.

1967 25-Cent Proof-Like Coin

This 25-cent piece from 1967 is a perfect example of the collectability of decimal coins. It was issued as a commemorative coin for the 100th anniversary of the nation. This version is a proof-like quality that helps to make the coin even more special.

The vignette on the obverse face of the coin is Arnold Machin’s engraving of Queen Elizabeth II with an inscription of “Elizabeth II D. G. Regina.” The title, Dei Gratia Regina, pronounces her “By the grace of God, Queen.”

The reverse face features an engraving of the Canada lynx. The inscription around it reads “25 Cents” and “Canada 1867-1967.”

When it was issued, this coin helped to celebrate the nation’s centennial anniversary. Today, it can be a great find for a collector who loves Canada decimal currency.

The 2017 Living Traditions 5-Cent Brilliant Uncirculated Coin

Collecting a full set of coins can be a particularly exciting experience. The 2017 Living Traditions 5-Cent Coin is a fun coin in its own right. However, it can be even more meaningful as part of the five-coin set commemorating the 150th anniversary of the country.

The reverse of the coin features the dates 1867-2017 and an image of the Canadian beaver rendered in the traditional style of the northeastern woodland Algonkian tribes by artist Gerald Gloade. This is a beautiful design that honours the history of the Canadian nation, first nations’ culture and the natural wonders of the land.

The obverse of the coin includes the familiar portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt. Like the 1967 coin, it also includes the words “Elizabeth II D. G. Regina.”
