Owner's Description

These owner comments come by way of Talisman Coins: The Bank of Canada began operating 75 years ago in 1935 and was given responsibility to regulate the country’s money supply and to “promote the economic and financial welfare of Canada.” Accordingly, it was given the exclusive right to issue Canada’s bank notes. On March 11, 1935, the Bank of Canada issued its first series of bank notes. This coin depicts the seated Goddess of Plenty. Resting leisurely on a classical plinth and clothed in a very comfortable toga and sandals, Plenty holds a sickle in one hand. Her feet rest casually on one end of a cornucopia, while all manner of fruits, vegetables, legumes and grains spill forth from the oversize mouth of the horn of plenty behind her. This scene is taken directly from the vignette depicted on the back side of the Bank of Canada 1935 Ten Dollar Bank Note. Country: Canada Year of Issue: 2010 Face Value: 10 Dollars Weight: 15.00 g Diameter: 34.00 mm Mintage Limit: 7,500 Finish: Proof Composition: .9999 Fine (Pure) Silver Edge: Serrated (milled, reeded) Artist: Royal Canadian Mint Engravers Certificate: Individually Numbered (#6286 / 7500)
