The coinage of George V had the most different sizes of coins, because of the resizing of the 5 cent and one cent coins during his reign and the introduction of the dollar coin.

Very interesting set, chrycopaul! I assume the streaks in the sky represent the aurora borealis on the dollar? What is the central figure above the kayak?

The reverse has an indian and a voyageur (a traveling agent for a fur company) paddling a canoe by an islet on which there is two windswept pine trees. In the canoe there is 2 bundles, and on the bundle on the right there is a small HB representing the Hudson's Bay Company. The rays do represent the Northern Lights.
