| General Description | In 1947 India received its independence, so "IND IMP" (India's Emperor) had to be removed from the King's titles on any British Commonwealth coins dating 1948 or newer. In Canada a problem arose when early in 1948 the new dies with "IND IMP" removed were late arriving from England, but new coins were needed so a decision was made to issue coins dated 1947, but with a small maple leaf after the date to indicate they were actually minted in 1948 |
