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:
“Any language is necessarily a finite system applied with different degrees of creativity to an infinite variety of situations, and most of the words and phrases we use are “prefabricated” in the sense that we don’t coin new ones every time we speak.”
—David Lodge (b. 1935)
“Nowadays the host does not admit you to his hearth, but has got the mason to build one for yourself somewhere in his alley, and hospitality is the art of keeping you at the greatest distance. There is as much secrecy about the cooking as if he had a design to poison you.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
