On December 31, 1949 Newfoundland became a province of the Dominion of Canada. To mark this historic event a special reverse appeared on the dollar for that year. The Matthew, the ship in which John Cabot is thought to have discovered Newfoundland, is depicted. Designer Thomas Shingles engraved the master matrix entirely by hand.
