1935 is a special year for George V, and it was commemorated with a Canadian silver coin.
The Voyageur dollar was first launched in Canada in 1935 to commemorate the Silver Jubilee of King George V.
It was composed of 80% silver until 1968 and was the first silver dollar coin in circulation in Canada. The design featured the Voyageur, a canoe, and Indigenous figures, making it a significant piece of Canadian numismatics.
The 1936 coin was the same yet important, as it was the last Canadian silver dollar coin with George V's effigy.
