| Additional information |
This piece belongs to a Royal Canadian Mint commemorative program revisiting the wartime 1943 tombac five-cent design — a composition forced on Canada when nickel was diverted entirely to Allied munitions production. The original 1943 issue used a tombac brass alloy and the distinctive twelve-sided planchet specifically to distinguish it from the one-cent piece by touch alone, a practical concession to the realities of wartime industrial priority.
The KM#A1941 designation anchors it to that 1943 prototype rather than any standard circulation series.
