Brief Description

The reverse features a voyageur and an Indigenous man paddling a canoe past a wind-swept island with a coniferous tree, with the Northern Lights in the background. The text says 'CANADA 1935 DOLLAR'.

Historical Significance

This was Canada's first circulating silver dollar. It was issued to commemorate the 25th anniversary (Silver Jubilee) of the reign of King George V. The iconic 'Voyageur' design by Emanuel Hahn became a staple of Canadian coinage.

Estimated Value

$30.00 - $75.00 USD (higher for exceptional uncirculated specimens)

Care Instructions

Handle only by the edges to avoid fingerprints. Store in an acid-free, PVC-free coin holder or capsule in a cool, dry place. Do not clean or polish the coin, as this can severely reduce its numismatic value.
