1944 Victory "V" Nickel – Commemorative and 50 similar items

Popis produktu: This striking 1944 Canadian 5-cent coin is a patriotic emblem of wartime resilience and national unity. On its reverse, a bold "V" for Victory dominates the design, symbolizing Canada's involvement in World War II. The torch within the V represents sacrifice and hope, flanked by twin maple leaves, a powerful nod to Canadian identity. Below the design is the word "CENTS", a deliberate and strong typography that reinforces the coin?s bold message. This commemorative coin marked a unique shift in numismatic style, as the war effort heavily influenced not only coin designs but also the materials used for minting.The obverse side portrays King George VI in a left-facing profile, surrounded by the Latin inscription ?GEORGIVS VI D:G:REX ET IND:IMP.?, which translates to ?George VI, by the Grace of God, King and Emperor of India.? This portrait was used during his reign, particularly during a time when Canada?s national identity was closely tied to its allegiance to the British Crown. Though this piece is a modern restrike, it faithfully preserves the era's aesthetic and symbolic richness, making it a valued addition for collectors interested in wartime numismatics and Canadian heritage alike.
