The third coin in the series features George V (reigned 1910-1936). He granted Canada its own coat of arms (1921) and declared red and white the official colours of Canada. Grandfather of the current Queen, he was the only king-emperor to visit India, and also initiated the monarchy's annual Christmas broadcasts. This crowned portrait of King George V appeared on Canadian coins from 1911 to 1936.
