The Official First Day Victory Anniversary Nickel, a 2005 Uncirculated 5-Cent coin from Canada.

This special circulation coin is a representation of the 5-cent coin created in 1943 to promote the Canadian war effort. The original design incorporated Winston Churchill's V for Victory, and a Morse code message circling the rim: 'We Win When We Work Willingly.'

Over one million Canadian heroes gallantly served freedom's cause in World War II. More than 45,000 lost their lives. By dawn of May 8, 1945, official word was received that the war in Europe was over, and Canadians finally celebrated peace.
