Canada last minted silver 5-cent coins in 1921, but they weren't called "nickels" at that time. Instead they were more like the old US half-dime coins that circulated in the 19th century.

The Canadian 5-cent piece wasn't called a nickel until 1922 when new, larger nickel-based coins replaced the old silver ones.
