2010 Canada $1 Silver Dollar – 100th Anniversary of the Royal Canadian Navy (92.5% silver)

Celebrate a century of Canadian naval history with this beautifully struck 2010 Silver Dollar, issued by the Royal Canadian Mint to commemorate the 100th Anniversary of the Royal Canadian Navy.

The reverse showcases the legendary HMCS Sackville (K181), the last surviving Flower-class corvette and a living memorial to Canada’s naval heritage. Surrounding the ship is the Navy’s motto, “Ready Aye Ready / Prêt Oui Prêt,” subtly rendered in Morse code—an exceptional design detail that rewards a closer look. The obverse features the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.  

Struck in 92.5% sterling silver, this collector coin weighs 25.18 grams and measures 36.07 mm in diameter. With a limited mintage of 50,000 Proof examples or 30,000 Brilliant Uncirculated examples (depending on the version), it is a sought-after piece for collectors of Canadian commemoratives, military history, and Royal Canadian Mint silver dollars.  

Whether you’re building a Canadian silver dollar collection or looking for a meaningful piece of Canada’s military heritage, this coin offers an outstanding combination of historical significance, elegant craftsmanship, and precious metal value.
