Special Edition Silver Dollar Set - 100th Anniversary of Bluenose
About
Get two 2021 exclusives in one set!
This year's seven-piece Special Edition Silver Dollar set features a brilliant uncirculated version of the 2021 Bluenose Proof Dollar, and it's only available as part of the set. A traditional BU (brilliant uncirculated) finish is a classical approach to the legendary schooner and the effigy of King George V. This effigy appeared on all Canadian coins issued in 1921, the year Bluenose was launched and captured the International Fishermen's Trophy.
Bluenose centennial anniversary extends to the set's 10-cent coin, which is double dated and features the effigy of King George VI—just like the first Bluenose dime issued in 1937.
Special features:
- A traditional, classical finish: The featured star, the BU dollar, is struck in 99.99% pure silver with a classic, brilliant uncirculated finish. The coin is exclusive to this set and is not available on its own.
- Two Bluenose coins in one set: The 100th anniversary of Bluenose is also celebrated on the double-dated 10-cent coin.
- Every denomination in circulation is represented in this set: Including the unique, double-dated 10-cent piece.
- Includes serialized certificate: The Royal Canadian Mint certifies all of its collector coins.
- Limited mintage: Only 30,000 sets are available worldwide.

Specifications
Design & Artist
Designed by Canadian marine artist Yves Bérubé, your BU dollar's reverse travels back in time to see naval architect William James Roué (1879-1970)completing his design for the legendary Bluenose schooner. The first-person perspective is flat frosted to distinguish between Roué's vision and the inspiring sight of a traditional, brilliant uncirculated Bluenose under full sail. As an added tribute, W.J. Roué’s signature is included, as it appeared on the original Bluenose sail plan. The obverse features the effigy of King George V by Sir E. B. MacKennal.
'Bluenose' is an official mark adopted and used by the Nova Scotia Department of Communities, Culture and Heritage pursuant to the Trademarks Act (Canada). It is used by the Royal Canadian Mint with the Department's permission.
