In 1912, the Royal Canadian Mint issued the first-ever gold coins with Canadian denominations. Two decades later, the mint issued its first-ever commemorative coins. Though intended for circulation, these silver dollars honoring the Silver Jubilee of England’s King George V were hoarded and became considered more of a commemorative piece than a circulation coin.
