| Obverse description | The second effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, sculpted by Arnold Machin, depicted as a right-facing draped bust at approximately 37 years of age, wearing a tiara. The legend ELIZABETH II D•G•REGINA arcs along the upper periphery of the coin, identifying the sovereign with the abbreviated Latin title 'Dei Gratia Regina' (Queen by the Grace of God). The portrait is rendered in a refined, classical style with fine detail in the hair and drapery. The field surrounding the effigy is smooth and unadorned. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a bold, dynamic depiction of the Bluenose, the celebrated Nova Scotian fishing and racing schooner, shown under full sail and heeling slightly as it cuts through the water. Emanuel Hahn's design captures the vessel in fine detail, with rigging, sails, and hull clearly rendered. The inscription CANADA arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination 10 CENTS appears along the lower periphery. The date 1968 is positioned to the left of the ship, and the mint mark H, denoting the Ottawa Mint's distinctive V-reeded production, appears to the right. The overall composition conveys motion and national pride. |
