🏛️ Canadian Heritage Collection1936 Canada One Cent
George V died on January 20, 1936, bringing his 25-year reign to an end. Canada would soon enter an extraordinary period of royal transition involving Edward VIII and ultimately George VI.
The 1936 cent therefore represents far more than the end of a coin series—it captures the closing chapter of the George V era.
