| Additional information |
The original 1936 "dot" coinage is one of the most contested numismatic puzzles in Canadian history. When Edward VIII abdicated in December 1936, dies bearing George V's effigy — already prepared for that year — were pressed back into service with a small dot added to the date to distinguish late-issue 1936-dated coins struck in early 1937. Fewer than five genuine 1936 dot dimes are confirmed to exist, and the last auction appearance of a certified example reached well into six figures.
This 2018 RCM tribute reproduces that storied rarity in five-nines silver at a scale that makes the dot unmissable — precisely what the original never allowed.
