Bidding starts in 0d 1h 1m

Obverse: Features the "First Portrait" (Young Head) of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, wearing a laurel wreath tied with a ribbon. Inscribed ELIZABETH II DEI GRATIA REGINA (Elizabeth II, by the Grace of God, Queen). Reverse: The classic design by G.E. Kruger-Gray featuring a beaver on a log above a body of water, flanked by the date 1962. The denomination 5 CENTS is at the top, and CANADA is at the base. Struck at the Royal Canadian Mint in Ottawa. The 1962 five-cent piece belongs to the "Young Head" era of Queen Elizabeth II. By 1962, Canada had returned to using 100% pure nickel for its five-cent coins, as the strategic metal shortages of the Korean War era had ended. This coin represents the end of a design era, and particularly notable for collectors because it was the final year the nickel was produced with the 12-sided (dodecagonal) shape that had been in use since 1942. Starting in 1963, the Mint moved back to a perfectly round shape for the nickel, making the 1962 issue the "last of the 12-sideds" for the standard circulating series. Dimensions: Nickel Coin. 21.21 mm. 4.54 g. Shape: 12-sided (Dodecagonal). Pickup category timeslot {A}
