Hmm as you undoubtedly have noticed, the numista listing is only partially helpful:

It looks to me like you have the large letters on the obv but small letters on the rev. That would make this coin a product of Germany. Let's see if others agree with this analysis though.

Check the reeding.
If it is fine it's Canadian, if it is course it's German

The reeding is fine, so I guess the coin was minted in Canada.

Unless you have one of each, it might be hard to tell if it's fine or coarse.
I would have gone with Germany.

The images provided on the coin's Numista page (linked above) can be used for an accurate determination even if you only have one example.

True. There is quite a bit of difference.
