<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gbroke, post: 1335958, member: 22585&quot;]&quot;<span style="color: #000000"><font face="arial">In 1947 India received its independence, so &quot;IND IMP&quot; (India&#039;s Emperor) had to be removed from the King&#039;s titles on all British Commonwealth coins dating 1948 or newer. This was a problem for Canada, as new hubs for the dies had to be created in England with the new inscription, and there were delays in receiving them. Because coins were needed, and the new 1948 dies were not ready, for the first part of 1948 coins were struck with the &quot;IND IMP&quot; inscription, <b>but dated 1947 with a small maple leaf behind the date to indicate they were actually minted in 1948</b>.&quot;</font></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><font face="arial"><br /></font></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><font face="arial"></font></span>source: <a href="http://www.calgarycoin.com/modern/cd5cent.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.calgarycoin.com/modern/cd5cent.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.calgarycoin.com/modern/cd5cent.htm</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
