Spirit of a nation

A nation's characterand spirit are often revealed in the designs of it's circulation coins. For Canada, no other coins has done this more than the voyageur silver dollar.

Canada's first circulating silver dollar was introduced in 1935 to mark the Silver Jubilee celebrations for King Georges V. Its design featured a voyageur and Native person paddling a canoe in tribute to the fur trade; the industry that founded the nation---andthe image of the vast untamed frontier it conveyed made it one of themost popular coin designs ever to enter circulation in Canada.

The voyageur silver dollar was designed by renowned Toronto sculptor,Emanuel Hahn, making it one of Canada's first domestically-designed coins and a great source of pride. Even though the Royal Canadian Mint had begun striking Canada's coins in 1908, the designs, tools and dieswere still being produced by the Royal Canadian Mint in England. Thiswas the case for the coins that were already in circulation when the voyageur silver dollar was introduces. While they were engraved by European sculptors, the presence of maple leaves in their designs hinted at an ever-expanding national identity for a young Canada. In 1935, the voyageur silver dollar brought the essence of the nation's characterto the forefront. It evoked the spirit of adventure that first lured explorers and voyageurs across the continent - an epic idea that continues to inspire centuries later.
