Comment

Windswept pines, a canoe laden with furs, the aurora borealis dancing in the sky. It's been over 80 years since these inspiring Canadian images were brought together in a now classic motif: the famous Voyageur dollar. This historically-inspired scene graced Canadian one-dollar coins from 1935 to 1986, and has since appeared on commemorative coins on more than one occasion. But it has never appeared on a one-kilo coin... until now. A grand tribute to Canadian numismatic art, your oversized collector's item features Emanuel Hahn's iconic Voyageur dollar design in a prestigious one-kilo format. Your coin's 102.1 mm diameter accommodates more detailed engraving than ever, and selective gold plating adds a touch of elegance to this already impeccable masterpiece.

Did you know that
The Voyageur was the second design to be created for the Canadian silver dollar. In 1910, the very first version of this coin was in preparation; its reverse was to feature a crown and a maple branch. However, the issue was delayed by the death of King Edward VII on May 6, 1910. Three trial versions were struck in the autumn of the following year, but the newly elected Borden government decided to abandon the creation of the one-dollar coin before production began.
The Voyageur dollar issued in 1935 made history in more ways than one. This silver dollar was put into circulation in 1935 to mark the Silver Jubilee of King George V, whose effigy appeared on the obverse of the coin. It was our first silver dollar, our first commemorative coin, and our first coin to feature a home-grown motif on the reverse: the Voyageur, featured on this one-kilo coin.
In 1986, the Voyageur was the first choice for the new one-dollar circulation coin. While today's dollar is adorned with a loonie, it was the Voyageur that was originally intended to appear on the reverse of this coin. But as the prototype coins disappeared in November 1986, the chosen image had to be replaced by an archived design. The loonie dollar was introduced on June 30, 1987.

Packaging
The coin is encapsulated and presented in a maple case featuring the Royal Canadian Mint logo. The case comes with a black protective box.Automatically translated
