| Additional information |
This is a 2020 bullion restrike of the Victory Nickel, originally issued 1943–1945 when wartime nickel shortages forced Canada to switch five-cent production to tombac and then chrome-plated steel. The original's distinctive "V" reverse and dot-dash border were a deliberate morale piece during the war years. The 2020 bronze version is a collector restrike, not a circulation issue — its 54-gram weight puts it firmly in medallion territory rather than anything approaching the original's composition or intent.
