The Canadian silver dollars struck from 1935 through 1967 are easily among the most popular coins issued by the Royal Canadian Mint. These large, 80% silver coins feature the reigning British monarch at the time of the coin’s issue on the obverse. The reverse, during most years, generally depicts a Canadian voyageur and indigenous man in a canoe under the Northern Lights. However, several dates were struck with special commemorative reverses, including the 1964 Canada Dollar which features a design by Dinko Vodanovic and Thomas Shingles with four emblems reflecting the English (rose), French (fleur-di-lis), Irish (shamrock), and Scottish (thistle) influences of Canadian culture.
