George VI (Albert Frederick Arthur George; 14 December 1895 – 6 February 1952) was King of the United Kingdom and the Dominions of the British Commonwealth from 11 December 1936 until his death in 1952. He was also the last Emperor of India from 1936 until the British Raj was dissolved in August 1947, and the first Head of the Commonwealth following the London Declaration of 1949.

Canadian Dollars are a great coin series to collect for many reasons. Foremost, the Voyageur design is a beautiful and historic symbol of Canada. Many of the earlier coins in the series were minted in small numbers and choice coins are scarce. There are numerous varieties that present opportunities for collectors. These coins offer an excellent combination of beauty, value, and challenge to collectors.
