Hm, I have never ran across one of those... I like! :icon_thumleft:

first for me too man i loved seeing it on the end too
 

Thats in real nice shape. That would be the Canadian war nickel, at least one variation of our war nickel. That is made from chrome plated steel. Also the nice V on the front has a double meaning. One is that it is the roman numeral for 5 representing the denomination and if anyone remembers good ol' Winston Churchill back in world war 2 he had his famous V for Victory sign. Putting the V for Victory on circulating coins during the war was used to create good moral back home. Also on the front side featuring the V along the rim written is morse code the phrase "We Win When We Work Willingly", again another way to boost moral.

Congrats on the first.

I like the design on that coin. I have one of those that I got from a magnet in a machine. Mine is a little rusty.
