    The Royal Canadian Mint have issued (14th July) a reproduction of the 1911 Silver Dollar for the 100th anniversary of this elusive early dollar and one key date to the dollar series.

    Minted as a trial coin at the Royal Mint in London, only three examples (two in silver, one in lead) are known to exist. Eventually, only the dies for this pattern coin were sent to Ottawa, but the denomination was not issued. An example of this rare and prized coin was discovered in 1960 at the Royal Mint’s Museum in London. This coin is on permanent loan to the National Currency Collection in Ottawa. The “Voyageur” Canadian silver dollar as a circulation coin was not minted until 1935 with the release of a commemorative issue marking the silver jubilee of King George V. A circulation design was minted the next year and continued as a business strike
    until 1967.
