Around 1949-1952, the Royal Canadian Mint chose to label as "Uncirculated" all "special" coins that were not of specimen quality. These coins were soon designated "proof-like" by a Toronto coin dealer; although this second term became widely accepted in the numismatic trade, it was never adopted by the Mint. 1, record 1, English, - uncirculated%20%281949%2D1952%29

À compter des années 1949-1952, la Monnaie royale canadienne produisit des pièces de qualité «spéciale». Elle désigna «"hors-circulation" ou "fleur de coin"» toutes les pièces qui n'étaient pas de qualité spécimen. Un marchand de Toronto utilisa plutôt «de qualité "semblable à épreuve"», expression qui fut largement admise chez les numismates même si la Monnaie ne l'a jamais adoptée. Par la suite, la Monnaie laissa tomber «fleur de coin» pour ne conserver que «hors-circulation» afin de distinguer sa qualité de frappe de celle désignée ainsi en Europe. 1, record 1, French, - %C2%ABhors%2Dcirculation%C2%BB%20ou%20%C2%ABfleur%20de%20coin%C2%BB%20%281949%2D1952%29
