| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse features Arnold Machin's second definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, depicting a right-facing draped bust of the Queen wearing a tiara and a pearl drop earring. The portrait is rendered in high relief with finely detailed hair and drapery. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the left field, while D·G·REGINA continues along the right, both following the inner beaded border. The overall composition is clean and dignified, characteristic of Machin's refined sculptural style. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The shift from 80% silver to pure nickel dollars came in 1968, making the 1965–1966 issues the last circulating Canadian silver dollars struck for general commerce. Ottawa's decision to end silver coinage was driven by rising bullion prices that pushed the metal value of coins dangerously close to face value — the same economics that killed silver in the United States two years earlier.
The 1965 issue is notorious among specialists for five distinct die varieties, differentiated by bead count and the treatment of the effigy's shoulder strap — a level of variety unusual for a modern Commonwealth coin.
