You’ve seen his art on the Voyageur and 1939 Royal Visit silver dollars, the caribou 25-cent piece and the Bluenose 10-cent coin, and his proposed trillium cent was featured on Coin #1 in the series. Coin #2 is a rare peek at what might have been if Hahn’s design had been chosen for another denomination: the five-cent coin. His hand-drawn sketch of a wheat-themed nickel has been pulled from the shadows of history and finally given a chance to shine on this 2 oz. 99.99% pure silver collectible, where the strong emphasis on symmetry offers further evidence of Hahn’s keen eye for balance and harmony.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDesign\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrom the archives\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom one of Canada’s most renowned sculptors, this coin’s reverse design was proposed by Emanuel Hahn—the artist behind the Voyageur dollar and more—but never selected to appear on a Canadian coin, until now.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA historical effigy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFurther connecting the past and present, this coin’s obverse re-creates the effigy of King George V, as seen on coins issued in 1936, during the process to modernize Canada’s coins.
