2012 CANADA 1C FINE SILVER COIN |
Farewell to the Penny
The year 2012
marks the end of production of Canada's 1-cent piece. To celebrate the
penny's long history, the Royal Canadian Mint is offering a series of
Commemorative pennies rendered in exquisite finishes.
This
Commemorative 1-cent piece is certified to be 99.99% fine silver
selectively plated with pink gold. The coin has a diameter of 34
millimetres and a metal weight of 15.87. The reverse features G.E.
Kruger-Gray's iconic 1937 design, which 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 maple leaves and twig are
beautifully plated in pink gold, providing a stunning counterpoint to
the coin's polished pure silver. 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 centre top
portion of the coin, is the face value of '1 CENT.' The reverse is
framed with a beaded circle. The obverse features the effigy of Her
Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
