| Additional information |
Newfoundland maintained its own coinage system well into the twentieth century despite joining Canada's currency union under the 1871 Uniform Currency Act — a jurisdictional carve-out that allowed the dominion to continue issuing distinct silver pieces through its own appointed masters at the Ottawa and London mints. The George V five-cent pieces of this series were struck at Ottawa, a shift from the earlier Victorian and Edwardian issues produced in London at the Royal Mint.
Newfoundland would not surrender its separate coinage until Confederation with Canada in 1949.
