2024 $1 FINE SILVER COIN
EMANUEL HAHN’S ORIGINAL SKETCH : PARLIAMENT

The Royal Canadian Mint is simultaneously honouring history and making history with this innovative thin 5 oz. coin, which features an engraved representation of Emanuel Hahn’s original sketch of the 1939 silver dollar design. Every pencil mark, and even the fold lines of the original paper document, are etched upon this coin’s reverse, where the relief—struck incuse for that hand-drawn look—honours both the artist and the artwork that holds historical significance.

 Another Mint first! Our first thin 5 oz. coin is struck on an innovative coin blank that delivers 5 oz. of 99.99% pure silver and a 50% larger diameter—more canvas to re-create Emanuel Hahn’s hand-drawn sketch and capture all of his preliminary graphic elements.
 A rare opportunity for collectors to own an engraved rendering of a handdrawn coin concept by Emanuel Hahn. It reflects the artist’s vision for the 1939 silver dollar—an important piece in Canadian numismatic history.
 Every pencil mark, the lines around the lettering, and even the paper fold lines from the archived art have been painstakingly re-created. 
 Includes an art card featuring a reproduction of the original drawing.
