The Canada Voyageur dollar is a famous Canadian dollar coin featuring a paddling voyageur and an Indigenous person in a canoe. It was designed by Emanuel Hahn and struck from 1935 to 1986. It was originally 80% silver (1935–1967) before switching to nickel (1968–1986). It is known for its iconic, long-running design and was replaced by the "Loonie" in 1987.
These 80% coins were struck by the Royal Canadian Mint. The back (reverse) of the coin depicts a French-Canadian voyageur and an Indigenous guide paddling a birch-bark canoe with wind-swept pines on an island and stylized Northern Lights in the background.
The obverse (front) features various reigning British monarchs, including George V (1935–1936), George VI (1937–1952), and Elizabeth II (1953–1987).
Please note: This is an 80% silver coin. Versions of this coin made after 1967 were made of nickel and did not contain any silver.

The fine print: We at 90percentCoins are not numismatists and do not focus on the nuances of
coin collecting or appraisals. Most of our items are common and circulated but when we find impressive-looking coins or other
items in our intake buys we prefer to list them as "Minty" and let the public determine what they are worth. You might find something even more valuable!
We do not sell graded or highly-collectible coins. We sell coins as bullion at or near the spot value for the silver they contain. Unless specifically stated, coins will be from random years or mint marks. In many cases photos are not of the exact coin you will receive but are indicative of the condition you should expect.
Our coin conditions of "Cull, Worn, Sharp or Minty" indicate the amount of wear a coin has and how "visually striking" it is as compared to most common bullion-quality coins of the same type. No correlation should be drawn between these terms and those used by coin dealers to describe graded coins that would otherwise sell at ten or twenty times the price. As an example, "Minty" should not be confused with a numismatic grade of "MS-70" or any similar designation. We do not clean coins, but some of our coins may have been cleaned before they came to us. We only value coins based on their Actual Silver Weight (ASW) or "melt values" and their relative scarcity, not by other numismatic or collectable factors.
If you are looking for collectible coins worth quite a bit more than the value of their silver content please visit a coin dealer. But if you are looking to build your silver stack with cool coins at the lowest price compared to their melt values, 90percentCoins is your best option!
