Cute Mackerel 😍

This is the third treasure I received from my amazing #silvergoldstackers secret Santa. This one features an animal, a great choice since I love animal themed coins 😍

Let's take a look!

A commemorative 10 cents piece, minted in 1967, celebrating the 100th Anniversary of Canada. On the front we have a cute little mackerel. Mackerels are super important for Canada as they are a significant commercial fish caught and sold for human consumption.

As expected, on the other side we have Queen Elizabeth, at 37 years of age. This bitch is everywhere 😍

A basic edge

This is the smallest treasure gifted to me by my secret Santa, here's how it fairs compared to a standard euro coin

Small as it may be, the purity is pretty decent at 0.800 with a total weight of 2.33 g, so about 1.86 g of pure silver.

All in all, a minimalistic coin that I really dig! Three secret Santa treasures down, one more to go 🎉

Ok, now let's take this opportunity to learn something new about mackerels 🤣 Let's ask chatgbt to tell us something weird about them!

One interesting and unusual fact about mackerels is that they are able to produce their own light, through a process called bioluminescence. They have specialized cells called photophores that contain a pigment called luciferin, which when combined with oxygen produces light. This bioluminescence can be used for a variety of purposes, such as attracting prey, communicating with other mackerels, or confusing predators.

Woahhhh! That's something I didn't know. Cool!

There are also the 0.500 silver version of this Mack coin produced in the later part of 1067 1967. While the 0.800 is 2.33g wt, the Wt of the 0.500 should be 2.18g whereas, the 100% nickel 10 cents is 2.07g. FYI
The mintage of the 0.500 Version is unknown, kind of messes things up.

It looks really good despite it's age, then decent purity as well. How the Queen is on a Canadian coin beats me.

Just edit the post, as I want to see how it compares to the €.

It is a nice coin, I like that it is slick. That lady on the back was lit, now we will have the retard son.

The mackerel is designed by Alex Colville, although you can't find any sign or symbol of purity and engraver. No idea, why they keep it super simple, fish and hag's bust. !LOLZ

BTW, you need to participate in Constantine II's funeral.

Lovely, but my disgust for Trudeau is really bleaching away any enthusiasm I could have for canadian coins this year. Imagine that same Queen lived on till last year, what a legend.

We don't use coins as amedium of exchange in my country so my knowledge about coins were limited till i joined Hive, i get to see different types of coins and hear their back stories alongside. Well that's Hive for you creating opportunities to explore on various levels.
