Few people live long enough to see themselves on a coin, even fewer live so long that they need to update their official image.
Queen Elizabeth II is now on her fourth effigy. In 2003 the official effigy used by the royal family was changed to show a more mature Queen. That meant anyone using the third effigy must update it to version 4.0.
Since this happened mid-year some 2003 coins already started using the third image then had to switch to fourth. In most cases value is not affected. For the 2003 Canadian dime no official mintage has ever been given to either effigy so it is assumed they are about 50/50.
Now this post would be great if I had both versions of 2003 side by side but sorry that is not what I found. Instead I got a 2003 and 2004 with the same "new" effigy. I just wanted to let everyone know that another version of the 2003-P Canadian dime does exist.
Here's the stats...
Type/Country: 10 Cents / Canada
Year: 2003-P Older Queen effigy, new portrait
Mintage: 163,684,000 (both types included)
Metal: 92% Steel, 5.5% Copper, 2.5% Nickel
Value: $0.10
Type/Country: 10 Cents / Canada
Year: 2004-P
