of differing silver content.

The reverse depicts a mackerel.

Why mackerel? Perhaps the article below from the Canadian Encyclopedia explains why.
The Atlantic mackerel is an elongate, streamlined fish, resembling a miniature tuna. Three species of true mackerels, genus Scomber, occur in the temperate waters of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. Two of these occur in Canada's coastal waters: in the Atlantic, the chub and Atlantic mackerels; in the Pacific, the chub mackerel. Swiftly swimming mackerel form huge schools in surface waters off coasts facing the open sea. They are highly migratory: those in Canadian Atlantic waters move inshore and northward along the coast as far as Labrador in summer; southward and offshore in late fall. This population is thought to overwinter in deep waters between Sable I and Cape Cod. In Canadian waters, spawning occurs from late May to July. An average-sized female may produce up to 500 000 buoyant eggs. Mackerel feed primarily on plankton, eating a wide variety of small organisms. Atlantic mackerel is an important food fish on both sides of the Atlantic and is used fresh, frozen, smoked and salted. In Canadian waters, it is fished commercially from the Bay of Fundy to Labrador, primarily by purse seines, but also by weirs and trap nets. Mackerel are also prized by anglers, particularly in US waters.

Thanks Sis 🍁
There is a problem with the weight specifications with these 1967 varieties, forgotten was the weight of the 0.500 silver 10 cents. The weight 0.500 should be in the range of 2.16 to 2.22 g taking into account wear & tear with acceptable machining variance, whereas the 0.800 silver 10 cents is 2.33g. Nickel metal should be 2.07 of which do not exist in circulation but in the trial strike only.
In a nutshell, 0.800 wt is not the same as the 0.500 silver coin.

Always, with !LUV 🤗🌺❤️

Yes, it's the first thing I checked! I weighed them all in one shot, sometime ago . My dimes and they were close to an average of 2.33 being that they were not circulated.
Happy Canada Day, @kerrislravenhill !

Interesting! A lovely coin with interesting facts. I didn't know it was considered a small tuna. I just keep hearing the line from Grumpier Old Men, made famous by Sophia Loren: " you've got a face like a mackerel!"

Thanks for sharing sis and have a lovely evening! Much !LUV!🤗😘😍❤️🌹 !LADY !PIMP

I find it very interesting that people collect coins and phone cards. There are many stories behind their creations. Each symbol carries with it stories that are part of humanity or symbolize something that is part of its respective country.

While mackerel is just another food in Brazil, it is a symbol appreciated by Canadian culture.

A post that carries with it a bit of culture.

I am a stacker, and I save in silver and gold coins! And it is realy interesting because, as you said, the images always have meaning or reason why they are used in the coin. Just like this 1862 1000 Reis. It carries the Brazilian coat of arms IN HOC SI- -GNO VINCES which is translated as "In this sign you will conquer."

You are an expert in this area, this coin broke my heart, 1862, wow, you have a personal wealth with these relics.

!BEER

A question:

Is there a specific community for posting about collectibles? I have about 10 thousand phone cards, about 100 complete collections, I would like to post and talk a little about them, but I haven't found an appropriate place here on Hive yet.

It would be interesting to make posts commenting on the collections.

This gold and silver community is perfect for you, it has your name engraved on it, when someone comments on the subject, I already remember your profile.
