The Canadian silver dollar (French: Dollar argent du Canada) was first issued by the Royal Canadian Mint in 1935 to commemorate the Silver Jubilee of King George V. The coin's reverse design was sculpted by Emanuel Hahn and portrays a voyageur and a person of Indigenous descent paddling a birch-bark canoe. The faint lines in the background represent the Northern Lights. The voyageur design was used on the dollar until 1986. It was then replaced with the 1987 Canadian 1-dollar coin (colloquially known as the "loonie"). 1967 marked the end of the silver dollar as a business strike, or a coin issued for circulation. After 1967, the dollar coin was made of nickel, except for non-circulating commemorative issues for the collector market, which continue to contain silver.

  • Der erste kanadische Gedenkdollar in Silber erschien 1935 anlässlich des 25. Jahrestages der Thronbesteigung König Georgs V. Somit handelt es sich bei den kanadischen Gedenkdollars um eine der ältesten Münzserien weltweit. Die Serie wurde zunächst nur sehr unregelmäßig mit wechselnden Motiven fortgeführt. Seit 1973 erscheint jährlich ein wechselndes Motiv, wobei seit 1999 zusätzlich sogenannte „Special edition proof silver Dollars“ ausgegeben werden. (de)
