This 1990 Canadian silver dollar commemorates the historic travels of explorer Henry Kelsey. Struck in a proof finish, the coin contains 0.3750 troy ounces of silver, serving as a beautiful example of Canadian numismatic artistry backed by the nation's government. The reverse side of the coin depicts Henry Kelsey alongside plains Indians, set against a backdrop that features a roaming herd of buffalo. This detailed scene captures a pivotal moment of cultural encounter and exploration on the Canadian plains, marked with the commemorative dates of 1690 and 1990. On the obverse, a right-facing portrait of Queen Elizabeth II is displayed. The monarch's profile is accompanied by the official face value of one dollar and the 1990 year of issue, balancing the historical narrative on the reverse with classic sovereign iconography.
