Where it came from
This 2001 five-cent coin was issued by the Royal Canadian Mint to commemorate the 125th anniversary of the Royal Military College of Canada. It serves as a departure from the traditional beaver motif found on the standard Canadian nickel, replacing it with a design featuring the college's coat of arms, which includes the motto 'Truth, Duty, Valour'.
The reverse design was executed by artist Christopher Gorey, who sought to capture the heritage and academic prestige of the Kingston-based institution. As a commemorative issue, it was intended for both general circulation and the interest of numismatists, reflecting the broader Canadian practice of celebrating national milestones and institutions through its coinage.
