1923 Canada 5 Cents — PCGS AU 58 | King George V | Key Date | Scarce | Nickel

A near-mint example of the 1923 Canada Five Cents — certified and graded About Uncirculated 58 by the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS), cert 1065.58/46327707, in a mid-generation PCGS gold shield holder. The 1923 is the key date of the entire George V Canadian nickel series, consistently the most difficult date to locate in any grade. At AU 58, this coin retains nearly full original lustre with only the slightest friction on the highest points — an exceptional example of this important key date at a more accessible price point than full mint state examples.

The obverse features the left-facing portrait of King George V wearing a crown, surrounded by the legend GEORGIVS V DEI GRA: REX ET IND: IMP:. The reverse displays the denomination FIVE 5 CENTS flanked by maple leaves with CANADA above and the date 1923 below. Struck in nickel at the Royal Canadian Mint, Ottawa.
