Limited Edition Proof Set - 75th Anniversary of the First Canadian Silver Dollar (2010) Highlights:This set is a treasure trove of historic coin designs inspired by Canada’s circulation coinage from 1935 with the famed Voyageur silver dollar as its centrepiece. Each coin is double–dated (1935-2010) and presented in an attractive maple wood display case. Coin designs:The limited edition proof silver dollar shows a voyageur and a Native person paddling a canoe, inspired by the original design created by Emanuel Hahn. The remaining coins feature designs inspired by the maple leaf. The garlands on the 25- and 10-cent coins were designed by W.H.J. Blakemore, based on a concept by L.C. Wyon, while the 5- and 1-cent coins were originally designed by W.H.J. Blakemore and Fred Lewis, respectively. The obverses feature the effigy of King George V by Percy Metcalfe (Silver Dollar) and Sir E.B. MacKennal (25-, 10-, 5- and 1-cent coins). Theme:The famous Voyageur silver dollar is arguably one of the most popular and enduring coin designs ever issued in the history of Canadian coinage. To this day, its design of a voyageur and Native person paddling a canoe conveys the spirit of adventure—the golden age of the fur trade that spurred exploration across a vast frontier and, in doing so, founded a nation.When the voyageur silver dollar was introduced read more
