1943 Canada War Nickel Tombac rare coin! During the Second World War, Canadian nickel was in great demand as a war material. This forced the temporary abandonment of its use in the coining of five-cent pieces. The first substitute material employed was a type of brass, called tombac. To aid in distinguishing them from the bronze one-cent coins, the new yellow five-cent pieces were given a dodecagonal or 12-sided, shape. This is one of those coins. Very little wear, nice coin. Very unique because of it's composition, very collectible, a great gift or investment.
A former client of mine had a relative that sailed the world in Merchant Ships from the late 1800's to World War II collecting coins from around the world. I bought them years ago from her and this is one of the actual coins he collected. Free Shipping!
