has gloss | eng: One of the most highly profitable aspects of the Royal Canadian Mint’s enterprise is in its Numismatic product line. One could argue that the first Numismatic coin from RCM was the 1935 dollar to commemorate the Silver Jubilee of His Majesty King George V. This was meant for circulation but it was the first Canadian coin which commemorated a special event. The decision to issue this coin was made in October 1934 by then-Prime Minister R.B. Bennett. There were economic and patriotic incentives for the release of a silver dollar. The belief was that the silver mining industry would receive a boost. The interest would be generated from a circular advertising its intention to produce the coin. In future years, this piece would have a more emotional meaning for many Canadians because it was also the first coin to have the Voyageur motif on its reverse. |
