About the period
The coins of Queen Victoria are Canada’s first coins in dollars and cents: in 1858 the Province of Canada switched to decimal accounts and ordered a bronze cent and silver 5, 10 and 20 cents from London. After the colonies united as the Dominion of Canada in 1867, striking went on until the end of the reign in 1901. More about the period “Victoria”, 1858 — 1901
