The Canadian silver dollar was first issued by the Royal Canadian Mint in 1935 to commemorate the Silver Yubilee of King George V. The reverse design of the coin was carved by Emanuel Hahn and depicted a sailor and a descendant of the Natives pedaling a birch- bark. The faint line in the background represents Northern Lights. The voyageur design was used in dollars until 1986. It was later replaced with Canadian Canadian dollar 1 Canadian dollar (colloquially known as "loonie"). 1967 marks the end of the silver dollar as a business strike , or coins issued for circulation. After 1967, dollar coins were made of nickel, except for the issue of non-circulating warning for the collector market, which continued to contain silver.

Variety
1947
Ten variations of the 1947 Voyageur Dollar exist. The ten varieties can be placed into three different categories: Seven Point, Seven Blunt, and Maple Leaves Problem. The mintages for all this include the mosaic shown in the graph below.
Referring to seven
Two styles of number 7 in 1947 were used in dies to produce Voyageur coins. Seventh is a tall figure with a bottom tail pointing back to right. On some coins, a point appears near 7. It is associated with imperfections in the die. Six different varieties of Pointed 7 exist.
- Apply 7
- Point 7 with Double-Punched 4
- Point 7 with the close point 7
- Appoint 7 with double-hole HP under the statue of the Noble King George VI
- Point 7 with a three-hole HP beneath the statue of the Noble King George VI
- Point 7 with HP folded four times under the statue of His Royal Highness George VI (HP is the designer's initial: T.H. Paget)
Blunt seven
A shorter 7 with a pointed down almost straight tail has been labeled as seven blunt.
- Blunt 7
- Blunt 7 with double hole HP under the statue of the Noble King George VI
Maple Leaf Problem
In 1947, India gained its independence from the British Empire and as a result, the inscription "IND: IMP:" needs to be removed from the Obverse of the 1948 Silver Dollar. However, as there is a delay of a new dies master sent from Britain to reflect this change, Mint continues to produce 1947 year old coins with a small Maple Leaf on the date to show that they were actually printed in 1948. Eventually the new dead did arrive, and they started scoring 1948 Dollars year-round. The very low mintages made Maple Leaf 1947 and 1948 dollars very rare, with 1948 Silver Dolls ruling a very high market price (Mint Condition 1948 coins worth more than $ 1900cdn as of March 2010).

1950-1952
Type of Arnprior varieties
Technical problems radiated during the 1950s that plagued the Royal Canadian Mint. At each end of the boat on Voyageur Dollar, there are four shallow water lines. In the process of polishing the dies, parts of this line tend to disappear. The result is that there are differences in coin appearance from year to year. There are collectors who arbitrarily decide that a certain pattern of partial canals at the right end of a canoe should be collected separately and premium commands over dollars with perfect water lines or other partial line configurations. The Arnprior type configuration tends to consist of 2 and ½ water lines on the right. Each trail of the bottom water line disqualifies the coin from being considered the Arnprior type.
Varieties of 1952
A reverse was changed, without a waterline at all, began to be used in 1952. In addition to removing the waterline, the modified reverse is different because the canoe image on the coin has a larger islet tip on the right end. This variety is different from Arnprior coins that are deliberately made.
Origin of Arnprior
In December 1955, the Royal Canadian Mint made a 2,000 silver dollar order for a company in Arnprior, Ontario. These coins have 2 and ½ water lines at the right end of the canoe. This is similar to the disappearance of waterways by chance on versions from 1950-1951. The 1955 dollar captures the interest of many collectors and it is this version that causes the term Arnprior to apply to the dollar with the appearance of a water line lost. Even more collectible than the 1955 Arnprior, awarded by a dead break on the front legend, with the result of being merged with T and I at GRATIA.
There is no shoulder fold on the front
A common element in every denomination of 1953 are two existing obverses. Obversa is said to be generally identified as No Folding Shoulder and Fold Shoulder. The currency for this year features a new statue of Queen Elizabeth II. The sculptor is Mrs. Mary Gillick and her model with exorbitant relief. The center of the stupa features two lines on the shoulders. These lines should represent the folds in the Queen's dress. Since these lines do not appear well, they are generally called Shoulder Straps Not by many collectors. Later that year, Royal Canadian Mint Chief Scientist Thomas Shingles lowered the model's relief and reinforced the details of his shoulders and hair. The modified front is known as the Shoulder Strap varieties.
1957 Arnprior
1957 Dollar has the opposite that is considered as Arnprior. The reverse shows a waterline to the right of the canoe.
1965
Although 1965 will mark a change in the statue of Queen Elizabeth II, that year will offer five different varieties of dollars.
Variety 1 and 2
The small beads on the front of the coin determine the varieties 1 and 2. The rear gems on the Queen Elizabeth II tiara are well attached. 5 years 1965 has two varieties. There is a 5 point (essentially at the bottom) while there are other versions with blunt 5 (bluntness is on the bottom 5 too).
Variety 3 and 4
Large beads on the front of the coin determine varieties 3 and 4. The rear gems on the Queen Elizabeth II tiara are well attached. 5 years 1965 has two varieties. There is a 5 point (essentially at the bottom) while there are other versions with blunt 5 (bluntness is on the bottom 5 too).
Variety 5
The front of varieties 5 has medium beads. In contrast to other varieties, 5 in 1965 pointed out.
