Canada: 2019 Royal Canadian Mint Coin Lore: Back to Concept 2 oz. Pure Silver Two-Coin Set 

Design: 

The 25-cent coin re-creates a preliminary sketch of the iconic caribou design by artist Emanuel Hahn. The Big Dipper asterism appears behind the left-side profile of Rangifer tarandus, while the denomination “25 CENTS” is positioned between the caribou’s antlers. Laser engraving on flat mimics the artist’s hand-drawn guide lines. The reverse includes the word “CANADA” and an updated date, “2019”. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.

The $1 coin also features Emanuel Hahn’s early take on the Voyageur design that eventually appeared on Canada’s silver dollars (1935-1986). Beneath the aurora borealis, a voyageur and an Indigenous guide paddle a fur-laden canoe past wind-swept pines that rise up from a semi-circular island. Laser engraving on flat mimics the artist’s hand-drawn guide lines. The reverse includes the word “CANADA”, an updated date “2019” and the denomination, “DOLLAR”. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
