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)
“If I commit suicide, it will not be to destroy myself but to put myself back together again. Suicide will be for me only one means of violently reconquering myself, of brutally invading my being, of anticipating the unpredictable approaches of God. By suicide, I reintroduce my design in nature, I shall for the first time give things the shape of my will.”
—Antonin Artaud (1896–1948)
