Canadian Silver BU Dollar Coins (Random, .800 Fine)

Vintage Circulating Silver Dollar • .800 Fine Silver • Historic Canadian Issue

The Canadian Silver Dollar Coin stands as one of the most beloved pieces of 20th-century North American coinage. Minted from .800 fine silver (80% silver, 20% copper) and containing 0.60 troy ounces of pure silver, these coins circulated widely until Canada transitioned to nickel coinage after 1967.

Each coin showcases timeless Canadian artistry, with the 1967 “Flying Goose” Centennial Dollar among the most iconic. Earlier designs, such as the Voyageur Dollar (1935–1966), also remain popular for their national symbolism and deep relief detail. The obverse depicts the right-facing profile of Queen Elizabeth II or earlier monarchs, depending on the year.

These circulated and Brilliant Uncirculated examples serve as tangible reminders of Canada’s pre-decimal silver age — and an affordable way to own vintage government-issued silver. Coins may arrive in original mint plastic or protective flips, depending on availability.

A Glimpse into Canada’s Silver Past

In 1967, Canada celebrated its centennial with a series of animal-themed coins designed by Alex Colville, culminating in the majestic Flying Goose Silver Dollar. That year marked the final circulating issue of silver dollars, ending an era that began in 1935. Today, these coins offer both silver value and rich historical appeal.

Each Canadian Silver Dollar (.800 Fine) offered by MintBuilder is an authentic Royal Canadian Mint issue. Random-year coins are selected based on available inventory and may include designs from 1935 through 1967.
