The "Dollar centennial" branding refers to the 1911 pattern dollar — a coin that was designed, struck in limited numbers, and never issued, making it one of the most famous non-circulating pieces in Canadian numismatic history. The 1911 dollar was suppressed partly due to controversy over the omission of "Dei Gratia" from the obverse legend, a public outcry that forced revisions across the entire coinage series that year. This 2011 five-cent reproduces the aesthetic of that doomed issue, a centenary acknowledgment of the aborted circulation coinage of George V's first full regal year in Canada.
