| 裏面の説明 | A large Victory 'V' motif dominates the central field, with a flaming torch rising from the centre of the V, symbolising Allied victory in World War II. The date is split to either side of the torch within the arms of the V, with a small maple leaf at lower left and lower right flanking the base. The legend CANADA arcs across the upper field and CENTS appears along the lower margin. A Morse code message encircles the design along the rim, encoding the phrase 'We win when we work willingly.' The engraver's initials T.S. for Thomas Shingles appear at the base of the torch. |

Canada's wartime nickel shortage pushed the Royal Canadian Mint to abandon its traditional nickel composition entirely, first experimenting with tombac brass in 1942–43 before settling on chromium-plated steel for 1944–45. The switch was a direct consequence of nickel's critical role in armour plating and munitions production, with INCO's Sudbury operations prioritizing military contracts over coinage stock.
Steel cents caused persistent headaches — they stuck to magnetic conveyor systems and rusted when the plating chipped. Vending machine operators complained loudly. Canada dropped the composition the moment postwar nickel supply allowed.
