| Reverse description | Central design features a stylized bird in flight — the 'Wing of Peace' motif — rendered with gold-plated wings spread dynamically upward and outward, intertwined with a flowing silver-toned ribbon or olive branch element that curves gracefully across the lower field. The design is executed in selective gold plating against a blackened proof field, creating a striking two-tone contrast. The engraver's initials 'AC' appear to the left of the central motif. The legend 'CANADA' arcs along the upper periphery, the date '2018' is inscribed to the right of the central device, and the denomination '10 CENTS' curves along the lower periphery. |

| Additional information |
The "Wing of Peace" dime belongs to the RCM's broader program of issuing fine silver collector pieces at face-value-plus-premium that replicate circulating denominations in precious metal — a format the Mint has leaned on heavily since the 2000s to sustain collector revenue as actual dime production costs outpaced the coin's purchasing utility. This particular issue uses the Alex Colville-designed reverse introduced for Canada's 1967 centennial, itself one of the most celebrated Canadian coin designs of the twentieth century.
Colville was paid a flat fee of $500 for all nine centennial designs.
