Obverse: Laureate young bust of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, with the surrounding Latin legend ELIZABETH II DEI GRATIA REGINA (Elizabeth II, by the grace of God, Queen). A beaded circle runs around the inner rim of the coin. Reverse: Iconic Canadian ’voyageur’ silver dollar design featuring a voyageur and an Indigenous person paddling a birch-bark canoe to the left, with bundles of fur in the canoe and stylized vertical lines representing the northern lights behind a small, rocky, tree‑covered island. The word CANADA appears arched above, the denomination DOLLAR below, and the date 1962 centered under the canoe. This is a Canadian silver dollar struck for circulation in 1962 under Queen Elizabeth II, composed of 80 percent silver and 20 percent copper. It is part of the long‑running voyageur dollar series first introduced in 1935 and continued through the early Elizabeth II period.
