Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1911 Canadian Silver 5 Cents coin is that it was minted without the Latin phrase "DEI GRATIA" (meaning "By the grace of God") on the obverse side, which was a departure from the traditional design used on previous coins featuring King George V. This change was made to reflect the growing secularism in Canadian society at the time.
