1949 Canada King George VI "Welcome Newfoundland" Commemorative Silver Dollar
Bring a monumentally historic piece of Canadian history into your collection with this gorgeous 1949 Newfoundland Commemorative Silver Dollar.

This highly sought-after silver coin survived over seven decades of historic changes, perhaps traveling through the pockets of early Canadian merchants or saved away as a cherished heirloom of national pride. Showing excellent preservation of its original details, strong fields, and bold legends, this silver dollar provides numismatists and investors alike with a phenomenal blend of verified precious metal content and premier historical significance.
