1953 is the first year the Elizabeth II coins were issued. Before that, it was George V (1920 - 1936), followed by George VI (1937 - 1952).
The Voyageur dollar coin series started in 1935 during the time of George V as a circulating commemorative coin for the 25th Anniversary of the Reign of King George V.
1953 Canada Silver Dollar
On the obverse of the coin is the effigy of the 27-year old Elizabeth II. The sculptor and medallist Mary Gillick created the first portrait a light, beautiful and fresh portrait of the young monarch unencumbered by a crown and instead wearing a laurel wreath in the classical style. 1
The reverse features voyageurs in a canoe and engraved by Emanuel Otto Hahn. The coin is dated 1953.

In the photo is also the 1953 10 Cents The Bluenose. This is, of course, the first-year issue also. The last-year issue was shown HERE.
