The Canadian 1921 10 Cent coin, designed by Frederick William Loring, was minted during a time of economic recovery following World War I. The coins design, featuring a crowned portrait of King George V, symbolized Canadas continued ties to the British Empire. The 1921 10 Cent was primarily struck in 92.5% silver, reflecting Canadas reliance on precious metals during a period of economic and political consolidation.
The 1921 10 Cent coins production came amidst a shift toward Canadian independence, with growing national identity after the war. Loring’s design embodied this transition, highlighting the monarchy’s role while pointing to Canada’s unique path. The silver content of the coin was crucial during a time of financial stability and recovery.
