This was the case for the coins that were already in circulation when the voyageur silver dollar was introduced. While they were engraved by European sculptors, the presence of maple leaves in their designs hinted at an ever-expanding national identity for a young Canada.

In 1935, the voyageur silver dollar brought the essence of the nations character to the forefront. It evoked the spirit of adventure that first lured explorers and voyageurs across the continent - an epic ideal that continues to inspire centuries later.

Canada's early history is one of exploration and discovery. Throughout North America the fur traders French. Who opened up the wilderness on the highways of water did more than just trap animals and sell their hides.

They met with the Native Americans. Learned their languages and ways, and created maps where once there was just blank space on a map.

The lure of wealth transcended class and social status as hundreds of men climbed aboard their canoes to head into the unknown for months, sometimes even years.
