Canada: George V gold Five Dollars 1914,...

Description

George V gold Five Dollars 1914, KM26, MS64 PCGS. Wartime demands prompted legislation that restricted the flow of gold and brought an end to the 5 and 10 Dollar pieces. Additionally, Canadian paper money could no longer be redeemed for gold coins. The 1914 5 Dollars, the final issue in the short-lived series, had a low mintage of just 31,122 pieces and is significantly more challenging than the 1912 and 1913. PCGS has certified only four examples in MS64, with none finer (7/09).

Hints of rose-red in the margins enhance the mostly light yellow patina that drapes both sides. The design elements are sharply struck, and there are no significant marks. Splendid luster fills the fields. An appealing example of this scarce issue.
