| Additional information |
Canada's first silver dollar, issued specifically to mark George V's Silver Jubilee, was the direct result of lobbying by the Canadian government for a prestige circulation coin — Britain itself issued no equivalent struck silver piece for the occasion. Emanuel Hahn designed the voyageur reverse, which would define the Canadian dollar series for decades.
The 1935 issue exists in two distinct varieties: one with a small beaded border and one with a larger border, the latter being considerably scarcer. Approximately 428,707 were struck in total — a modest production run that reflects its commemorative intent rather than any genuine circulating need.
