Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1920-1921 Canadian Silver 5 Cents coin with DEI GRATIA is that it was minted during a time of transition for the Canadian monetary system. The coin was minted in 1920 and 1921, just a few years before Canada transitioned from using silver coins to nickel coins in 1922. This means that the 1920-1921 Silver 5 Cents coin is one of the last silver coins minted by Canada before the changeover to nickel.
