Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1912-1920 Canadian 1 Cent coin with George V (with "DEI GRA") is that it was the first coin to feature the image of a reigning British monarch on a Canadian coin. This was a significant departure from previous Canadian coins, which had featured images of allegorical figures or Native Americans. The inclusion of King George V's image on the coin symbolized Canada's loyalty to the British Empire and marked a turning point in Canadian numismatics.
