25 Cents In the name of George V, Voyageur

This piece belongs to a short-lived series issued by the Royal Canadian Mint that paired the long-running Voyageur reverse — itself introduced on the dollar in 1935 — with the effigy of George V, a monarch who had been dead for over seven decades by the time these coins were struck. The anachronism was deliberate, aimed at collectors interested in historical reign pairings rather than anything that would have existed in actual circulation.
