Overview

Historical significance

This coin was issued during the reign of King George V and the Great Depression. The 1932 nickel is notable among collectors for its lower mintage figures compared to other years in the 1930s, making it a key date for Canadian nickel sets.

Estimated value

$2 to $50 CAD depending on condition; extremely high-grade examples can exceed $100.

Care & preservation

Store in a cool, dry place within a PVC-free coin holder to prevent environmental damage. Avoid cleaning or polishing the coin, as this can severely reduce its numismatic value and damage the surface finish.
