In 1935, a commemorative silver dollar was struck for the King George V's Silver Jubilee. The obverse showed the King and the reverse showed a canoe containing a voyageur (an unlicenced fur trader) and an Inuit. The initials HB for Hudson’s Bay appear on a package at the front of the canoe, and they recall the important role played by the Hudson’s Bay Company in the development of the country. The tree-covered island represents the richness of Canada’s forests and brings to mind all of the products that can be derived from this natural resource. The lines of the aurora borealis symbolize the immensity of the territory.
