10 Dollars - George V Pattern

正面描述	Crowned effigy of King George V facing left, modeled by Sir Edgar Bertram MacKennal, with the king depicted in a robed and crowned portrait of regal bearing. The legend encircles the bust, reading GEORGIVS V DEI GRA : REX ET IND IMP: in raised Latin lettering. The portrait displays fine relief detail in the facial features and crown, characteristic of MacKennal's work for British Commonwealth coinage of the period. The field is smooth and unadorned, allowing the effigy to dominate the obverse design.

附加信息	This bronze pattern was struck at Ottawa in 1928 as part of an internal RCM evaluation of a proposed gold $10 denomination that never entered circulation. Canada had been on the gold standard, but mounting pressure — formalized just a few years later when Canada suspended gold convertibility in 1931 — made a new high-value gold coinage politically untenable. The bronze substitutes production metal to allow die trials without committing gold stock. Surviving examples are exceedingly few; most pattern pieces from this exercise remained in government or mint holdings for decades.
