2004 Canada Silver Dollar Proof (First French Settlement)
In 2004, Canada released a special silver dollar marking a major historical milestone, struck in 0.8093 troy ounces of highly pure 0.9999 fine silver. This proof-finish coin serves as a beautiful tribute to the early maritime exploration of North America, specifically celebrating the 400th anniversary of the first French settlement established in 1604. The reverse of the coin features a detailed depiction of a historic sailing ship navigating the waters, capturing the spirit of the early explorers who crossed the Atlantic. To the right of the vessel, the denomination is clearly displayed, while the dual dates of 1604 and 2004 are positioned directly beneath the ship to anchor its historical context. On the obverse, a right-facing portrait of Queen Elizabeth II is accompanied by her royal title, balancing the historical theme with Canada's traditional numismatic heritage.
