Quote:2005 Silver Canadian 25 cent coin Commemorating The 60th anniversary of the Liberation of the Netherlands in 1945. Quote:
Should have been Beatrix on the reverse, not Elizabeth II! Why? The coin is a Canadian issue and Queen Elizabeth II is its Queen and Head of State. Why should Canada put the monarch of the Netherlands on one of its coins instead of QEII? Also, the QEII side is the coin's obverse - all of Canada's coins have the monarch on the obverse.

If a coin commemorate two countries, one side should be for one country, the other side for the other country.

The Canadian 5 cent ( 1751- 1951 ) Commemorative coin celebrated the isolation and naming of the element Nickel, by the Swedish chemist and metallurgist Axel Fredrik Cronstedt. Two types of 1951, 5 cent coins were struck. The commemorative shows a picture of the Sudbury nickel refinery with it's landmark chimney, which was the world's tallest chimney at the time and the coin itself was issued in 100% nickel. The Korean war forced the cancellation of the nickel commemorative and relegated the mint to revert to the familiar Beaver coin using the steel alloy plated with chrome and nickel. These Beaver coins were struck in both high and low relief and the high relief are very much sought after.  Edited by wannabfree

The Canadian 5 cent coin ( 1751- 1951 ) was Canada's 1st Commemorative coin and celebrated the isolation and naming of the element Nickel, by the Swedish chemist and metallurgist Axel Fredrik Cronstedt. The 1951 five cent coin is Canada's first commemorative coin of that denomination, but its first commemorative coin overall is the 1935 silver dollar. It was issued to mark the 25th anniversary of the reign of King George V.   That said, your example of the 1951 commemorative five cent coin is a nice one!

The Canadian 5 cent coin ( 1751- 1951 ) was Canada's 2nd Commemorative coin I see that you edited your post, but I'm afraid it's still not accurate. In addition to the 1935 coin, Canada released commemorative silver dollars in 1939 and 1949 ahead of the 1951 nickel commemorative. Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems.

September 1983 saw the first appearance of the "W" mint mark (from this still unofficial U.S. Mint) on a $10 gold coin commemorating the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games. This was the first legal tender U.S. gold coin since 1933.   |
