The Canadian 1981 10 Cent coin, designed by Emanuel Hahn, features the Bluenose schooner, a tribute to Canada’s maritime legacy. Struck in nickel, the Canadian 1981 10 Cent reflects the era’s reliance on durable, domestically sourced metals during economic strain and inflation.
In 1981, Canada faced high interest rates and recession pressures, shaping public policy and financial priorities. The Canadian 1981 10 Cent coin maintained its classic design, reinforcing national identity amid uncertainty. The continued use of Hahn’s schooner on the Canadian 1981 10 Cent symbolized resilience, while its nickel composition aligned with cost-effective minting during economic challenge.
