Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1912 Newfoundland 20 cent coin is that it was the first coin to feature a portrait of King George V, who had recently ascended to the throne following the death of his father, King Edward VII. This coin was also unique in that it was the only coin issued by Newfoundland that year, and it was the first time the province had issued a coin with a silver content of .925. Additionally, the coin's weight of 4.7127 grams was unusual for a coin of its denomination, as most coins of similar value were typically made of a lighter material, such as copper or nickel.
