Which is the only Canada dollar coin that can be turned upside down and the date reads the same as right side up?

You know something, I actually didn't know this until recently. The year 1961 is my birth year, I have a 1961 silver dollar with a hole drilled just above the Queen's head (I did it myself, BTW) and use it as a keychain momento.
One day I went to pick up my keys and the silver dollar was upsidedown, realizing then the date was also 1961. It got me to thinking that there are no other Canadian dollars of such!
Just thought I'd pass it on to you guys!

That would be the year where all the other denomination may be read upside down. Except for the most important denomination, where it will not happen until 6009.
