One interesting fact about the current 5 peso coin is that during 1997 and 1998, some of the 5 peso coins were minted in the Royal Canadian Mint. Oh yes. That would mean that our coins with the year mark 1997 and 1998 are imported. However, not all 1997 and 1998 5 peso coins were minted at the RCM. How can you tell whether or not a 5 peso coin from 1997 or 1998 was made in RCM? Look at the following photos.
