In 1943, Canada introduced a new reverse design for the 5 Cents coin.Instead of the beaver, it featured a torch and 'V' for 'victory' to help promote Canada's World War II effort.The 'V' has a double meaning: it was a representation of Winston Churchill's 'V' for victory sign and of the Roman numeral 'V' for five cents.The 'Victory' coin was struck until 1945 when the war ended; the beaver design returned in 1946.In 2005, the Royal Canadian Mint re-issued the wartime Victory nickel to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the end of World War II. The 2005 coin features the same Victory design but with the dual dates 1945 and 2005.
