<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bromac4, post: 142774, member: 663&quot;]Before 1948 Canadian coins contained the words &quot;et ind imp&quot; identifying King George VI as emperor of India. In 1948 India gained its independance so the phrase had to be removed. Coins with the date 1947 having the small maple leaf by the date were actually minted in 1948 befroe the dies were changed to omit the &quot;et ind imp&quot;.Coins with the date 1948 were eventually produced but because they only represent part of the total mintage for that year they are somewhat more rare than most other years.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bill[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
