I know its Canadian cause it says so. But who is this fellow? Is this design also still in circulation?

Say hello to England's King George the V. He was on coinage from 1912 to 1936. If you're curious, he was followed by King George the VI from 1937 to 1952 to the current monarch Queen Elizabeth the II beginning in 1953.

Not a problem...I've been researching Canadian coins for the last month as I have my eye on them for my next type set so I understand your getting hooked.

Just as a small correction King George V was first on 1911 coins, which were a controversy in itself. In 1911 the obverse of the coin did not have the latin DEI GRA: which refered to him being King by the grace of God. The term Godless Obverse is used to describe these coins. After much public outrage DEI GRA was put back on the 1912 coins.
