Canada Silver Dollar coins were first introduced in 1935 by the Royal Canadian Mint to commemorate the Silver Jubilee of King George V — celebrating 25 years of his reign. This historic release came just a year before his passing and marks the beginning of one of Canada’s most iconic coin series.
Obverse Designs: Two Portraits of Queen Elizabeth II
1958-1967 Canada Silver Dollar: First Portrait of Queen Elizabeth II
Coins from this period feature the first right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II. Struck early in her reign, this portrait captures the Queen at age 27, offering collectors a youthful and elegant depiction.
1965–1967 Canada Silver Dollar : Second-Generation Effigy
Coins dated 1965–1967 include the updated effigy of Queen Elizabeth II. This portrait displays a more ornate crown and replaces the earlier legend with the shorter inscription “DG Regina.”
Reverse Design: The Iconic Voyageur Scene
The reverse of these coins showcases the legendary Voyageur design, a celebrated image featuring a voyageur and Indigenous guide paddling a canoe. It remains one of Canada’s most recognizable numismatic artworks.
