Question for Graysiders

My Krause shows this series starting in 1936. Can anyone tell me anything about this 1935?

What do you want to know?

The 1935 silver dollars is the first standard issue silver dollars for Canada. The 1935 obverse has a George V portrait unique to Canadian coins, which was changed in 1936 to the George V portrait found on other denominations. A new obverse was used from 1937 and beyond, due to the transition from George V to George VI.

Both 1935 and 1936 coins are 80% silver and 20% copper. Mintage for 1935 was 428707; for 1936 was 306100.
