| Reverse description | The reverse pays tribute to the Victory 5-cent coin designed by Thomas Shingles (`T.S.`). On the inner core, a `V` for Victory is overlaid with a flaming torch and flanked by maple leaves, while the double dates `1945` and `2020` commemorate the 75th anniversary of the end of the Second World War. At the top of the outer ring, two images of a maple leaf appear within the line pattern. The words `VICTORY` and `VICTOIRE` are framed by an inscription in International Morse Code. At the bottom of the outer ring, the inscriptions `REMEMBER` and `SOUVENIR` are paired with two security marks consisting of a maple leaf within another maple leaf. |
