The Bank Act of 1881 restricted the banks to issuing $5 notes and multiples thereof. The government had a free rein as far as coinage was concerned, since the banks did not issue their own coins. In 1908, The Royal Mint in London established a branch in Ottawa. From then on, Canadian coins were produced there, including this 1908 5-cent coin.
