1956 Canada Silver Dollar — PCGS PL 64 | Queen Elizabeth II | Voyageur | Prooflike | Early Rattler Holder

A stunning prooflike example of the 1956 Canada Silver Dollar — certified and graded Prooflike 64 by the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS), cert 32525.64/15598629, housed in a desirable early PCGS “rattler” generation holder. Prooflike dollars were struck from specially prepared dies at the Royal Canadian Mint and feature deeply mirrored fields contrasting with frosted design elements — a precursor to the modern proof coin. The 1956 dollar is a popular date in the early Elizabeth II Voyageur series and is highly sought in prooflike grades by collectors of Canadian silver dollars.

The obverse features the right-facing portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Mary Gillick, surrounded by the legend ELIZABETH II DEI GRATIA REGINA. The reverse displays the iconic Voyageur canoe design by Emanuel Hahn, with two figures paddling a canoe past a small island with a pine tree, inscribed CANADA / 1956 / DOLLAR. Struck in .800 fine silver at the Royal Canadian Mint, Ottawa.
