This is a stunning 1945-C Newfoundland 10 Cents coin, struck in the final years before Newfoundland joined the Canadian Confederation in 1949. The 'C' mint mark below the date on the reverse indicates it was minted at the Royal Canadian Mint in Ottawa. Composed of .925 sterling silver, this coin showcases the crowned effigy of King George VI on the obverse, designed by Thomas Humphrey Paget. The reverse, designed by Leonard Charles Wyon, displays the denomination and date surrounded by a classic wreath. Key value factors include its silver composition, specific '1945-C' date and mint mark combination, and its professionally assessed 'Extra Fine' grade, making it highly sought after by collectors of both Canadian and British Commonwealth numismatics.
