Canadian dimes, quarters, and half dollars, were struck with 80% silver from 1920 to 1967. The other 20% is made of copper. Prior to 1920, these coins were comprised of 92.5% silver, with the rest being copper. Quarters and dimes had a brief period in 1968 in which they had a 50/50 mix of silver and copper. Afterwards, due to rising prices, Canada replaced all silver in circulation coinage with Nickel or Copper-Nickel.
The obverse of these 80% Canadian Silver Coins is dependent on which coins you receive. The obverse of Canadian circulation coinage displays the reigning British monarch. From 1920 to 1967, this consisted of George V, George VI, and Elizabeth II.
The reverse of these 80% Canadian Silver Coins is based on which coins you receive. The reverse design of the quarter since 1937, for example, shows the Caribou designed by Emmanuel Hahn. Similarly, the Bluenose schooner has been on the reverse of the dime since 1937. A common reverse for the 50-cent piece is the Canadian coat of arms, which has been used as well since 1937, but the design has been updated several times.
