There's a new coin that looks like a colourful dime with a boat sailing through blue waters.
But it's worth a lot more than Canada's 10-cent coin!
Recently, the Royal Canadian Mint put out the Tall Ships: Three-masted Schooner – Fine Silver Coin.
This Canadian coin was designed by artist John M. Horton and features a starboard view of a three-masted schooner at full sail.
The starboard side of the boat is lifting as it sails, and there's a full cargo of lumber on the deck.
With this design and the raised etchings of clouds and seabirds, it looks like the boat is sailing in the ocean on a windy day.
Canada's new coin is enhanced with selective colour, including blue for the water, red for the flag atop the ship, and beige for the ship's sails.
It has a face value of $15, but it's reminiscent of the 10-cent coin.
The dime features another schooner, Bluenose, which was a legendary racing and fishing boat from Nova Scotia.

This new coin also features the Canadian Red Ensign, a nautical flag Canadian ships started flying in the 1890s.
It was actually Canada's flag after confederation, and it combined the Union Jack with variations of the shield of Canada, according to the Mint.
The Canadian Red Ensign was replaced by the Maple Leaf flag in 1965.

The obverse side of the coin features the effigy of King Charles III, designed by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.
Unlike dimes, this isn't a circulation coin. That means you have to pay for it.
The Tall Ships: Three-masted Schooner coin costs $99.95 and can be purchased through the Royal Canadian Mint.
There is a limited mintage of 15,000 of these colourful coins.
