The Canadian 1914 10 Cent coin, designed by Albert-Desire Dumont, was issued just before the outbreak of World War I. Dumont’s design features a crowned portrait of King George V, symbolizing Canadian loyalty to the British Empire. The coin, made of 92.5% silver, reflected Canadas strong economic position during the early 20th century, though tensions were rising globally.
In 1914, Canada’s economy was stable, but the looming war would soon affect the nation. The Canadian 1914 10 Cent coin became a symbol of both national pride and impending change. Its silver composition was standard for Canadian currency, though wartime demand for metal eventually led to alterations in coin production.
