Own a timeless piece of history with the 2020 Victory Nickel, a stunning tribute to the end of World War II, crafted with precision by the Royal Canadian Mint. This commemorative coin not only symbolizes a pivotal era but also boasts an exclusive mintage of just 400 coins worldwide, making it a rare gem for collectors and history buffs alike. Complete with its original box and certificate of authenticity, this coin is a meaningful addition to any collection.
The reverse of this extraordinary coin reimagines the iconic Victory design by Thomas Shingles, which originally appeared on Canada’s five-cent coins from 1943 to 1945. At its center, a flaming torch stands tall, a profound tribute to the sacrifices of Canadians both on the frontlines and at home during the Second World War. Behind the torch, the bold letter "V" carries a dual significance, echoing Sir Winston Churchill’s famous "V for Victory" gesture while also representing the Roman numeral for five, the coin's denomination. Flanking the "V" are two maple leaves, a symbol of Canadian pride and resolve. Encircling the design is a unique detail where traditional denticles are replaced by the powerful phrase “WE WIN WHEN WE WORK WILLINGLY,” encoded in Morse code, adding a layer of depth and meaning to its historic tribute.
On the obverse, the coin features the historic effigy of King George VI, designed by T. H. Paget, serving as a nod to the era in which this design first emerged, further enhancing its historical authenticity.
This coin serves as a poignant celebration of courage, unity, and triumph. Don’t miss your chance to own this remarkable piece that embodies both art and history.
This coin contains 31.1035 Grams of .9999 pure gold for a total of 1 oz of Pure Gold
