A 1945-2005 Victory Anniversary Nickel honors the 60th anniversary of the end of WWII. This special circulation coin is a representation of the 5-cent coin created in 1943 to promote the Canadian war effort. The original design incorporated Winston Churchill’s V for Victory, and a Morse code message circling the rim: “We Win When We Work Willingly.” Over one million Canadian heroes served freedom’s cause in World War II. This coin is very high grade coin. It has a superior finish and is a must have for all collectors.
The obverse design by Dora de Pedry-Hunt and Ago Aarand depicts the portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in right profile, when she was 77 years old. It is surrounded with the inscription “ELIZABETH II D • G • REGINA”. The “P” mint mark sits under the bust.
This coin depicts a reproduction of a coin struck from 1943 till 1945: a central “V”, meaning both victory and the facial value with the inscription “CENTS” underneath flanked by two maple leaves, on which is superimposed a torch, with above the inscription “CANADA”, on the left the date “1945” and on the right “2005”.
Each roll consists of 40 coins of 2005-P (1945-) Canadian 5-Cent Victory VE-Day 60th Anniv Nickel in original unopened condition.
