.809 ozt Coronation Queen Elizabeth 9999 $1

This is the the iconic Canadian Voyageur Dollar, a landmark design in Canadian numismatic history.

It depicts a French-Canadian fur trader (voyageur) and an Indigenous person paddling a traditional birch-bark canoe. In the background, vertical rays depict the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) shimmering above a pine-wooded island. The design romanticizes and pays tribute to Canada's early fur-trading heritage.

The letters "EH" visible under the left bow of the canoe stand for Emanuel Otto Hahn, the prominent Canadian sculptor who designed this coin.

Though small, the crate or bundle inside the canoe to the right is marked with the letters "HB", representing the historical Hudson's Bay Company.

The dates 1953 and 2003 flank the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, representing the year of her coronation and the 50th-anniversary milestone.

It features Mary Gillick’s 1953 young portrait of the 27-year-old Queen wearing a laurel wreath.
