Canada Victoria Ten Cent Coins are a fascinating item for collectors due to their historical significance and unique designs. The coins were produced during the reign of Queen Victoria, which lasted from 1837 to 1901. The first Victoria ten cent coin was produced in 1858, and featured a wreath on the reverse side. The design was changed several times over the years, with later coins featuring various images of the monarch on the obverse side, and different images of the Canadian coat of arms on the reverse side. The composition of the coins also changed over time, with earlier coins made of silver, and later coins made of copper and nickel.
