1922 Canada 5 Cents George V BU
The year 1922 marked a significant moment for Canadian coinage, particularly with the five-cent denomination. This brilliant uncirculated specimen showcases a transition in metal composition, being struck in nickel. With a mintage of 4,794,119, this issue represents a fascinating era in Canada's numismatic timeline. The obverse of the coin features the crowned left-facing bust of King George V. Surrounding the royal portrait are the Latin inscriptions GEORGIVS V DEI GRA: REX ET IND: IMP, which translate to George V, by the Grace of God, King and Emperor of India. On the reverse, the design highlights the denomination and country of origin. The central number 5 is flanked by maple leaves, a classic Canadian symbol, with the word CANADA positioned above and the denomination FIVE CENTS written out. The year 1922 is clearly marked at the bottom, completing a clean and balanced design that represents early twentieth-century Canadian craftsmanship.
