You are asking about a 1965 Silver Dollar from Canada (KM#64.1). The coin is 36mm in diameter, weighs 23.3276 grams and is 80% silver, giving it an ASW (Actual Silver Weight) of 0.600 troy ounces. The obverse (front) has a portrait of Queen Elizabeth the Second and the words "Elizabeth II D - G - REGINA" (partially abbreviated Latin for "Elizabeth the Second, By the Grace of God, Queen"). The reverse (back) of the coin bears an image of two natives in a canoe in front of an island (the so-called "Voyageur") with "CANADA" above the image and "1965" and "DOLLAR" below it. 10,768,569 such coins were produced in 1965.

According to the Standard Catalog of World Coins, the coin is in most cases worth little more than its silver value (about US$10.71 with silver at US$17.85 as of May 4, 2010), with a numismatic premium of a dollar or two for particulary nice uncirculated specimans.

The exception to this lies in the fact that there are 3 sizes of beads just inside the rim of the coin (small, medium and large) and two versions of the "5" in the date (pointed and blunt). The combination of medium beads and a pointed "5" can be worth US$15-$40 in uncirculated condition. It is, however, very difficult for the casual observer to identify which size bead a given coin has, especially without a couple of examples to compare against. (One indication is that, with medium beads, the upright on the right side of the "N" in "REGINA" points directly to a bead, while it points between beads for both the large and small bead variety.)
