A fake? you would have to think why bother with a 5 cent?
I agree, weigh it accurately and compare. Perhaps a filled die, uneven thickness planchet or a weak strike.

Exactly! Why would anyone bother seeing as there were 8 million of them. Never going to be scarce.

Elizabeth's eye detail looks 'off' with this coin.
? perhaps due to a small hit? - or otherwise?.
There are lots of them all over, especially in the area around the eye.

Very indistinct lettering detail - especially Z and L of 'ZEALAND'.

The first photo is a circulating coin and the second photo is a mint set coin.
The circulating coins were produced by the Royal Canadian Mint using their low-relief version of the Arnold Machin portrait of Queen Elizabeth II.
