1953 saw the use of two varieties of obverses, the "no shoulder fold" and the "shoulder fold" similiar to the one cent piece.
In 1955, nickel was was used again for the five cent piece.
In 1963, due to economic reasons, the production of round five cents were made for the first time since 1942. It was cheaper to make round coins because the coining presses lasted longer.

All coins issued in 1965 had a new obverse with the Queen showing more mature facial features and wearing a tiara.
A hopping rabbit was designed in 1967 to commemorate the Confederation.

In 1979, the portrait of the Queen was made smaller making the portrait proportional to the diameter of the coin.
A new, more contemporary portrait of the Queen wearing a diamond diadem necklace and earrings was introduced in 1990. In 1992, the 125th anniversary of Confederation, all coins had the date "1867-1992".
