📖 Description
A collectible 1885 Canada 5 Cents “Small 5” issue, certified PCGS F12. This Victorian-era silver coin represents a distinct subtype within the series, identified by the smaller numeral “5” on the reverse—an important diagnostic detail for collectors of Canadian coinage.
The obverse features a left-facing portrait of Queen Victoria, surrounded by the Latin legend, while the reverse displays a crowned denomination encircled by a wreath of maple leaves, a classic and enduring symbol of Canada. These coins were struck during a period of expanding national identity, making them historically significant pieces of pre-Confederation coinage.
