I don't find any mention in Wikipedia of the Canadian 20 cent piece of 1858. There ought to be at least a stub article on it, and someone should chase down a little information on it. And this article should at least mention it in passing. I read at
https://www.colonialacres.com/20-Cents-s/396.htm
that it was tried in the first place because it was the same size as a British shilling, but there was a lot of confusion with the US quarter and the Canadian 20 cent piece was abandoned after only one year.
Are there reliable sources to confirm the use of the word "piece" when referring to Canadian coins? I've recently bold moved 50-cent piece (Canadian coin)toCanadian fifty-cent coin because I couldn't find any. (The Mint uses "50-cent coin".) I'm inclined to remove instances of the word "piece" in this article also, but will look at comments here first. 162 etc. (talk) 01:22, 17 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
A couple of years ago, this might have been fine but since new coinage appear with obviously different first minted year it's kind of jarring. Like King Charles III coinage start in 2023 but Queen Elizabeth II coinage start in 1858? The first minted year should be the year when said coin design actually minted including monarch effigy rather than when the certain value of coin are issued. ~ Limyx826 (talk) 02:33, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
