Overview

A silver dollar featuring a young portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse and a flying Canada goose on the reverse, issued to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Canadian Confederation.

Historical significance

Issued in 1967 to celebrate the centennial of the Canadian Confederation (1867-1967). The design replaced the traditional Voyageur dollar for this special anniversary year and is one of Canada's most iconic commemorative coin designs.

Obverse (front)

Young second portrait of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, wearing a tiara. Inscription around reads 'ELIZABETH II D • G • REGINA' (Elizabeth II, By the Grace of God, Queen). Designed by Mary Gillick.

Reverse (back)

A Canada goose in flight over stylized water lines, flanked by the dates '1867' and '1967'. Inscriptions include 'CANADA' at the bottom left and 'DOLLAR' at the top. Designed by Alex Colville.

Estimated value

$15-$25 in circulated condition, $30-$50+ in uncirculated/Mint State condition, based strictly on silver melt value plus a small numismatic premium.

What drives this coin's value

Primary value is driven by its silver bullion content (melt value) and overall preservation/condition. Highly toned specimens with attractive eye appeal can sometimes command slight premiums.

Grade assessment

About Uncirculated to Mint State (AU/MS) with natural toning.

Mintage & rarity

Common (Mintage of approximately 6,767,496 for circulation)

Authenticity & counterfeit red flags

Check weight (23.33g), dimensions (36mm), and perform a ping test or specific gravity test if suspicious. Counterfeits are rare due to the high mintage and relatively low individual value, but base metal forgeries do exist.

Notable varieties & errors

Regular strike and a heavier, thicker 100-percent pure nickel experimental error or mule varieties exist, though extremely rare. A 'pointed 7' variety exists for the 1967 quarters and dimes, but the dollar primarily exists in standard format.

Similar coins

Canadian Voyageur Silver Dollars (1935-1967) and other Canadian commemorative dollars of the era.

Care & preservation

Handle by the edges with clean cotton gloves or bare, clean hands to avoid transferring oils. Store in a cool, dry place in an archival-safe coin flip or capsule. Never clean or polish the coin, as this ruins its finish and drastically reduces its numismatic value.
