The only tribute penny in pure gold!
The year 2012 marks the end of production of Canada’s 1-cent
piece.
1937 design was used
as the Canadian 1-cent piece reverse image from 1937 to 2012, with the sole
exception of 1967.
The image features
two upright five-lobed maple leaves, the larger one on the right slightly
overlapping the smaller leaf on the left. Both are attached by their stems to a
small twig.
The date of the penny’s last production,
“2012,” is engraved just below and to the left of the central image. The word
“CANADA” is engraved across the central bottom portion of the reverse field.
Opposite this word, across the center top portion of the coin, is the face
value of “1 CENT.”
The reverse and
obverse sides are framed with a beaded circle.
