Best Answer

You are asking about a 5 Cent coin (KM#40a) from Canada. The coin measures 21.2mm across, weigh 4.4 grams and is composed of Chrome-plated Steel. The coin is round, but has a 12-sided regular polygon (a "dodecagon") inscribed inside the edge. The obverse (front) has a portrait of King George VI of Great Britain and the inscription "GEORGIVS VI D:G:REX ET IND:IMP:" (abbreviated Latin for "George the Sixth, By the Grace of God, King and Emperor of India"). The reverse (back) has a torch and a big "V" (the roman numeral for "5"), with "CANADA" above the torch, "19" and "45" on either side of the torch, and "CENTS" (with a maple leaf at each end) below the torch. 18,893,216 of these coins were produced in 1945.

According to the Standard Catalog of World Coins, an example is worth US$0.10 in Very Good condition, US$0.20 in Fine condition, US$0.40 in Very Fine condition, US$0.80 in Extremely Fine condition, US$2.00 in Uncirculated (MS-60) condition, and US$7.00 in Brilliant Uncirculated (MS-63) condition.

This is a reasonably common coin, and is probably worth between about 10 to 15 cents in circulated condition to a couple of dollars in strong uncirculated condition.
