Coin Design
Among the coins of Canada, Hahn designed the famous Voyageur Dollar design, which depicts a fur-trapper (coureur des bois) from the Hudson's Bay Company and an Inuit in a canoe with the Northern Lights (aurora (astronomy)), the famous Nova Scotian racing schooner Bluenose on the 10c. coin, the caribou's head on the 25c. coin, and the Canadian Parliament Buildings reverse of the 1939 Royal Visit silver $1 coin.

Famous quotes containing the words coin and/or design:
“Washington society has always demanded less and given more than any society in this country—demanded less of applause, deference, etiquette, and has accepted as current coin quick wit, appreciative tact, and a talent for talking.”
—M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)
“With wonderful art he grinds into paint for his picture all his moods and experiences, so that all his forces may be brought to the encounter. Apparently writing without a particular design or responsibility, setting down his soliloquies from time to time, taking advantage of all his humors, when at length the hour comes to declare himself, he puts down in plain English, without quotation marks, what he, Thomas Carlyle, is ready to defend in the face of the world.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
