| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare-headed effigy of King George VI facing left, rendered in high relief with fine hair detail. The peripheral legend reads GEORGIVS VI D:G:REX ET IND:IMP: in raised Latin lettering, distributed around the coin's dodecagonal border. The engraver's initials HP appear in small characters below the king's truncated portrait. The field is polished and unadorned, giving prominence to the royal effigy. The design faithfully reproduces the classic T. H. Paget portrait used on original wartime Canadian coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
This 2020 issue commemorates the 75th anniversary of V-E Day and V-J Day, released as part of Canada's broader program marking the end of the Second World War. The obverse attribution to George VI is historically pointed — he was the reigning monarch in 1945, and the original wartime nickels struck under his reign included Canada's famous "tombac" and chrome-plated steel compositions, forced on the mint by wartime metal restrictions. Returning his effigy to a five-cent piece for this commemorative deliberately echoes that connection.
The KM#2901 assignment places it firmly in the modern commemorative series rather than circulation coinage.
