Introduced in 1937, both to combine the previous English and French versions of bank notes into a single bilingual bank note, and to replace King George V with King George VI as the monarch as the former had died the year prior. The 1937 series would remain in use until 1954 when the new "Landscapes of Canada" series featuring Queen Elizabeth II was introduced. Although no longer in print, all but the $1 & $2 bank notes remain legal tender.

Minted in 1951, this silver dollar is of .800 fineness purity and contains 0.6ozt of silver. The reverse features the denomination, date of mintage, and the famous Canadian "Voyageur" design. The obverse features King George VI with the Latin phrase "Die Gratia Rex" or "By the grace of God, King"

These were put together by the Royal Canadian mint in 1967 to mark Canada's centennial. The coins themselves are uncirculated rather than proof finish as I believe the RCM did not start doing proof coins until a decade later. The penny is copper, the nickel is well...nickel, the dime, quarter, half dollar, and dollar are .800 fineness silver, and the medallion at the top is made of .925 (sterling) silver. The case is made out of leather which is a step above anything the RCM makes today and comes with its original box as well. There is also a version that comes in a black leather case instead of a red one and that one features a $20 gold coin in place of the silver medallion.

This particular example is uncirculated. The reverse of the coin features the denomination, security features, and a piece of her artwork. The obverse of the coin features King Charles III and the date of mintage.

These medals were issued to anyone who had honorably completed 18 months of military service in the Canadian army, air force, or navy during the second world war. These are not very rare medals and are only worth their weight in silver for the most part. They feature the coat of arms of Canada and were minted using sterling silver.

Not exactly a coin but these were struck in sterling (.925 fineness) silver and minted in Canada. These medals were issued to anyone who had honorably completed 18 months of military service in the Canadian army, air force, or navy during the second world war. These are not very rare medals and are only worth their weight in silver for the most part.

Minted in 2025 to commemorate the Canadian supersonic cold war interceptor, the AVRO Arrow, this coin features the airframe of RL 201 and is made out of fine silver with an almost mirror like background. Mintage on these was limited to 10,000.

In 1842 and 1844, the Bank of Montreal issued half penny's to facilitate trade in the new world. These half pennies were minted in England using copper. The obverse features the Bank of Montreal's first bank building that was erected in 1819. The reverse features the coat of arms of Montreal with the denomination, date of mintage, and Latin inscription "Concordia salus" which translates to English as "salvation through harmony".

The 1930's saw some of the lowest mintages of Canadian half dollars and 1934 was no exception with less than 40,000 coins minted. Compare that with 1940 with almost 2 million coins minted. These were part of the 1920-1936 series of 50 cent coins that featured King George V on the obverse and had the same reverse as the pre 1920 half dollars but were struck in .800 fineness silver as opposed to .925 fineness. The obverse features the Latin inscription "DEI GRA : REX ET IND : IMP" which is an abbreviation and translates to "By the grace of God, King and emperor of India".

These were mounted on SMLE No.1 Mk III rifles and were used during WW1, the interwar period, and WW2 and were among the last of the "sword bayonets". This particular model was manufactured by Wilkinson in 1918 in Britain and the C-broad arrow marked on the pommel showing it was accepted for use by the Canadian army. The frog is also C-broad arrow marked.
