This was the case for the coins that were already in circulation when the voyageur silver dollar was introduced. While they were engraved by European sculptors, the presence of maple leaves in their designs hinted at an ever-expanding national identity for a young Canada. In 1935, the voyageur silver dollar brought the essence of the nation’s character to the forefront.

Britain officially declared war on France one year later in 1756, and the war that ensued became one of history’s greatest wars since the fall of the Roman Empire.

Abundant throughout North America, the mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) is one of the continent’s most well-known and best-loved species of wild duck. One of the first to return to its home nesting grounds after winters spent in ice-free regions of the continent, this large surface-feeding, or “dabbling,” waterfowl is the species from which most domestic ducks originated.\u003cbr\u003eThe plumage of mallards is instantly recognizable. The male, or drake, has a bright green head, ochre yellow bill, and brown chest. He bear patches (known as “specula”) of indigo blue on its greyish, brown wings. On the other hand, the female, or hen, bears mottled brown and white plumage, sharing with the drake a striking indigo speculum decorating the upper back edge of each wing.\u003cbr\u003eThe mallard’s preferred habitats include wetlands, ponds, and prairie “potholes”— marshy areas where they can raise their ducklings in relative safety. These habitats provide plenty of vegetation, seeds, and nutrient-rich invertebrates to sustain the mallard’s varied diet throughout its life cycle.\u003cbr\u003eMallard mating pairs travel together from their wintering grounds to their home breeding territory in early spring. Mallard hens will lay an egg a day for up to 12 days, incubating the eggs for about a month. Within one day of hatching, the mother leads her ducklings to the safety of nearby water. The ducklings will remain with their mother for approximately two months, until they learn to fly and can begin the age-old lifecycle of migrating, selecting a mate, and breeding.\u003cbr\u003eConserving Canadian Wetlands for 75 Years: Ducks Unlimited Canada\u003cbr\u003eThe wetland habitats mallards depend on in Canada are at serious risk. We need immediate action to conserve wetlands – the natural areas where mallards and other waterfowl breed and raise their young – to ensure iconic Canadian moments like the one captured on this coin continue for years to come. In Canada, we lose 80 acres of wetlands every day. Without ongoing support from all Canadians, these essential areas may disappear. For 75 years, Ducks Unlimited Canada has been committed to wetland conservation, delivering science-based habitat projects as well as research, education and policy programs. You can continue the rich history of wetland conservation in Canada and help write a new chapter for waterfowl like the mallard.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"West Edmonton Coin \u0026 Stamp","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51175859224708,"sku":"120087","price":175.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0967\/3447\/8468\/files\/a20791713d03cba1d93a24_l__41192.1361999052.1280.1280.jpg?v=1759512442"},{"product_id":"1971-specimen-commemorative-silver-dollar-british-columbia-centennial","title":"1971 SPECIMEN COMMEMORATIVE SILVER DOLLAR - BRITISH COLUMBIA CENTENNIAL","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1971 Specimen Silver Dollar\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The first non-circulating silver dollar was issued to the public in 1971 as a commemorative for the entry of British Columbia into Confederation in 1871.

As the Chinese began to immigrate to Canada during the late 1800's, they quickly proved their worth as capable, hardworking labourers who demanded very little of their employers. They made a significant contribution to the mining and railway industries and were excellent cooks, gardeners and launderers. However, with a language and culture that differed significantly from the European society that dominated 19th-century Canada, assimilation was difficult.

The name of the order for all butterflies, Lepidoptera, means scale winged and refers to the unique structure of butterfly wings, which are composed of microscopic scales layered on a thin, transparent membrane called chitin that stretches over structures that are much like veins. This wing construction, which is being studied by scientists for applications in photonics and solar heating, helps butterflies to collect solar heat as they bask in the sun. The black colouring common on the wings of many butterflies, including the Canadian Tiger Swallowtail, is also important in thisprocess. The unique internal structure of the wing scales is responsible for the shimmering colour of many butterfly wings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnlike other Swallowtail species, the Canadian Tiger Swallowtail breeds only a single generation each year. Its survival mechanisms, which include exceptional camouflage, help to protect it through its various stages of life. The larvae go through several moults, with their colour at each stage adapted to camouflage them from predators. In the earliest stages, they resemble bird droppings to deter consumption by birds. By the time they are mature caterpillars, they are dark green with two spots that look like eyes on their swollen front-section, lending them an uncanny resemblance to the head of a snake. They feed only at night—a further protection. When the caterpillar does need to defend itself, the osmeterium, an organ at the back of the head that is unique to Swallowtails, releases a foul smell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFound at the edges of hardwood forests and prevalent in flower gardens and among flowering bushes like lilac, the Canadian Tiger Swallowtail is common in all regions of Canada from mid-May to July.

Other missions included the defence of the Anzio beachhead where the men fought for 90 days conducting deadly nightly raids that soon inspired the nickname “Black Devils.” Heavy fighting and casualties during the breakout from Anzio (May) led to the advance on Rome and the capture of six Tiber bridges (June). In August, the FSSF carried out an amphibious assault in support of Operation DRAGOON in southern France before clearing the French coastline east towards Italy—its final major mission before being disbanded on December 5, 1944.
