1 dollar 1935
The date on the image can be different from the year selected.
The reverse of the 1-dollar 1935 was designed by Emanuel Hahn. Along with medals and a number of significant war memorials, he designed some of Canada's most distinctive and iconic coins. In 1934 the Department of Finance invited Emanuel Hahn to submit a design for a silver dollar commemorating the silver jubilee of the reign of King George V. Hahn corresponded with the Royal Mint in London and the Royal Canadian Mint to gain insight into the process of minting a coin before submitting a drawing depicting a voyageur and a First Nations man paddling a canoe.
Note may be made of the fact that the head of His Majesty is crowned. It was debated before the time of issue as to whether it should be crowned or uncrowned and a decision was finally made in favor of the former.
The 1935 dollars were given special care in that they were counted by hand and packed in cartons of 20 each to avoid friction in transit. Mint Reports do not indicate whether any other dollar issues were handled in the same way.
First issued early in May, there was a steady demand for the coins until the end of the year. It was not expected that these dollars would ever form part of the general circulation. The Mint had the idea that most of them would be placed in collections or else he retained as souvenirs. Something of the sort did occur although not at all on the scale that had been imagined, they finally did enter into circulation on a small scale.
