A voyageur scene was selected for the reverse of the silver 1946 DOLLAR dollar. The Canadian coat of arms as proclaimed in 1921 was selected for the reverse of the 50-cent Silver dollar, 1945-47 piece. The reverse of the other coins were: a caribou on the 25-cents; the Bluenose on the 10-cents; a beaver on the five-cents; and a twig with two maple leaves on the one-cent.
