Coins are housed in a removable lens and are protected in an elegant cherry wood display case.Coin designs:\u003cbr\u003eInspired by the 1911 Silver Dollar originally designed by W.H.J. Blakemore. The obverse features the effigy of King George V originally designed by Sir E. B. MacKennal. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePackaging: \u003cbr\u003eThese coins are packaged in a long narrow box consistent with 1911 shape. A modern day premium Cherry wood box proudly displays these coins. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA Sterling Treasure\u003cbr\u003eWhen the Mint began striking coins in 1908 (then known as the Ottawa Branch of the Royal Mint), a one-dollar coin had not yet entered circulation, but was desperately needed; so in 1911, the Mint struck a trial one dollar coin in lead, while Londons Royal Mint struck two trial coins in silver. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSince Britain was responsible for preparing and distributing most of the master tooling to its Dominions and colonies, the engravers were under great pressure as they were already busy preparing new coins to coincide with the coronation of King George V. In their haste, they failed to include Dei Gra(tia), (By the Grace of God, in Latin) on the inscription surrounding the effigyan unfortunate omission that appeared on all smaller denomination coins that entered circulation and became known as godless coins. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA series of exceptional events and a change in government delayed the introduction of the new dollar. And it was not until 1935 that a Silver Dollarthe iconic Voyageur designwas introduced to elevate the original dollar of 1911 to the status of one of Canadas rarest coins. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpecifications: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo: 114121 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpecial Edition Proof Dollar 1911-2011 \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eComposition: 92.5 % silver, 7.5% copper\u003cbr\u003eFinish: Proof \u003cbr\u003eWeight (g): 25.18 \u003cbr\u003eDiameter (mm): 36.07 \u003cbr\u003eEdge: reeded\u003cbr\u003eArtist: Originally designed by W.H.J.
