Five troy ounce, retro design pure silver dollar. With its excruciatingly low mintage of just 1,500! Canadas 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 American. Paddling a canoe in tribute to the fur trade, the industry that founded the nation. 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 scene is illuminated from behind by the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis), which speak to the natural wonders. And grandeur of the vast country. The voyageur silver dollar was designed by renowned Toronto sculptor Emanuel Hahn, making it one of Canadas first domestically-designed coins and a great source of pride. Even though the Royal Canadian Mint had begun striking Canadas coins in 1908, the designs, tools and dies were still being produced by the Royal Mint in England. This was the case for the coins that were already in circulation when the voyageur silver dollar was introduced. While they were engraved by European sculptors, the presence of maple leaves in their designs hinted at an ever-expanding national identity for a young Canada. In 1935, the voyageur silver dollar brought the essence of the nations character to the forefront. It evoked the spirit of adventure that first lured explorers and voyageurs across the continent – an epic ideal that continues to inspire centuries later. The detail of the engraving is such that the letters HB for Hudson Bay Company can be seen on one of the trade bundles. Canada’s early history is one of exploration and discovery. Throughout North America the fur traders French. Who opened up the wilderness on the highways of water did more than just trap animals and sell their hides. They met with the Native Americans. Learned their languages and ways, and created maps where once there was just blank space on a map. The lure of wealth transcended class and social status as hundreds of men climbed aboard their canoes to head into the unknown for months, sometimes even years. Paddling up to 90 strokes per minute, they traveled thousands of miles, circumventing perilous rapids by loading each man with 200 lbs of cargo to carry across countless portages. Bear fat, corn, and pemmican were their staples and they had little more than the trees to shield them from the elements and the unrelenting flies. Technology Note – Gold Plating.

The year 2012 marked the end of production of Canadas 1-cent piece for circulation. To celebrate the pennys long history, the Royal Canadian Mint is offering a series of commemorative pennies, each struck in pure silver with a proof finish. Together, these trace the history of the denomination. Though the reverse and obverse design of this penny predates the Royal Mints presence in Canada, when the first coin was struck on Canadian soil in 1908, it was a penny just like this one. The reverse features the maple wreath design that had been present on Canadian 1-cent coins since the Victorian era, framing a central field featuring the words ONE CENT and the year of production. The obverse features the effigy of King Edward VII. In 1911, George V became king and the obverse of the Canadian 1-Cent coin changed to feature the effigy of the new monarch. At the same time, a new reverse design featuring the word CANADA was introduced. In 1920, the Royal Mint not only made the penny smaller but also introduced a new reverse design featuring two maple leaves and the words ONE CENT and CANADA. The obverse continued to feature the effigy of King George V, though complications in 1936 caused by the abdication of King George V s successor, Edward VIII, led the Mint to modify the 1936 dies in order to produce never-circulated George V dot cents in the event of a delay in production of 1937 coinage. To celebrate Canadas centennial, Canadian artist Alex Colville created a special commemorative reverse design for the penny featuring a rock dove in flight. The design featuring two maple leaves. On a sprig was created by Canadian artist G. Kruger-Gray and first used in 1937. Originally composed of copper, 2012′s one cent circulation coin is made of copper-plated steel. In 1982, the shape of the penny was modified from perfectly circular to a 12-sided design to assist the visually impaired. This shape was maintained until 1997, when the penny became round again until its final striking in 2012. The Penny – A Brief History. The maple leaf gracing the one cent coin is emblematic of everything Canadian.

In addition the maple leaf is the central feature of the national flag of Canada. The first one cent coin was struck by the Countess of Grey at the official opening of the Ottawa branch of the Royal Mint on January 2, 1908.

Costs more than 1.6 cents to produce. The Royal Canadian Mints patented and cost-effective multi-ply plated steel technology allows it to keep production costs for all other Canadian circulation coins well under their face value; not so, however, for the one-cent piece. In its Economic Action Plan 2012, the Government of Canada announced its decision to modernize Canadas currency set by eliminating the penny from Canadas coinage system. While the penny will remain legal tender (it is not being demonetized, merely discontinued), the Royal Canadian Mint will no longer distribute pennies as of Fall 2012. Canadians can still spend pennies, redeem them at financial institutions, donate them to charities, or recycle them.

Kruger-Gray’s maple leaf twig, originally introduced in 1937. Its 12-sided design recalls the shape of the penny from 1982 to 1997. On January 2, 1908, Canada’s first domestically produced coin was struck: a beautifully designed 1-cent piece featuring a polished centre wreathed by a vine of 16 maple leaves. This motif was bordered on each side by a frame of raised dots. The penny’s design remained this way until 1920, when the Mint updated the denomination’s reverse and reduced its diameter. The new design, created by Fred Lewis, is composed of two maple leaves flanking the denomination. The obverse featured the effigy of King George V. The 1930s were a time of growing nationalism in Canada. In the decade leading up to the Second World War, many of Canada’s major federal and cultural institutions were founded, including the Bank of Canada and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation/Radio-Canada. In 1937, the Royal Canadian Mint took on the task of modernizing Canadian coinage. That year marked the introduction of artist G. Kruger-Gray’s iconic maple leaf twig design, which remained the penny’s reverse image every year except Canada’s centennial year, 1967, until the denomination’s cancellation in 2012. Though the penny is no longer in production, and appears less frequently in our pocket change, it continues to hold a special place in the story of Canadian coinage. To celebrate Canada’s centennial in 1967, famed Canadian artist Alex Colville created a special commemorative set of designs for each circulation coin denomination. His design for the 1-cent piecean image of a rock dove in flightis still found in circulation today. In 1982, the penny’s shape was amended from perfectly round to 12-sided to make it easier for the visually impaired to distinguish between denominations. The shape remained 12-sided until 1997.
