| Additional information |
The "IND:IMP:" titles — abbreviating Indiae Imperator, Emperor of India — disappeared from Canadian coinage after 1947, when Indian independence made the designation politically untenable. George VI formally relinquished the Imperial title in 1948, but the transition on Canadian dies lagged slightly, making these final two years the last hurrah of a 300-year-old imperial claim rendered obsolete by a single summer on the subcontinent.
