2015 5-Cent Victory Coin (legacy of the nickel, silver)
Throughout its history, each of the nickel's transformations provides a glimpse of a young nation that was seeking to define itself and of a Mint that would quickly come into its own. This Legacy of the Canadian Nickel series is a retrospective look at the history of 5-cent coins minted by the Royal Canadian Mint; it continues with the Victory-themed design used from 1943 to 1945 to promote Canada's war effort during the Second World War. Composition: 99.99% pure Silver. Finish: Proof with gold plating. The Victory coin is the third in the six-coin Legacy of the Canadian Nickel series, which revisits the 5-cent coin designs that were produced by the Royal Canadian Mint throughout its history.
This coin's 40-millimetre diameter makes it nearly double the size of the original, allowing for a larger canvas to showcase the intricately detailed design that is further enhanced by multiple finishes. This proof coin is 99.99% pure silver, with selective gold plating.A great gift for collectors of Canadiana, history-themed and circulation coins with this new 6-coin series!
