Canada's first circulating silver dollar was introduced in 1935 to mark the Silver Jubilee celebrations for King George V. Its design featured a voyageur and Native person paddling a canoe in tribute to the fur trade; the industry that founded the nation—and the image of a vast untamed frontier it conveyed made it one of the most popular coin designs ever to enter circulation in Canada.

The voyageur silver dollar was designed by renowned Toronto sculptor, Emanuel Hahn, making it one of Canada's first domestically-designed coins and great source ofpride. Even though the Royal Canadian Mint had begun striking Canada's coins in 1908, the designs, tools and dies were still being produced by the Royal Mint in England.
