About
Our oversized ode to Canada’s last penny.
This year (2022) marks the 10th anniversary of Canada’s last one-cent circulation coin, the last one struck before Canadians bade farewell to the penny. To commemorate the anniversary, and to honour the coin’s 154-year history, G. E. Kruger Gray’s beloved maple leaf twig design has been brought back to life and immortalized in five kilograms of 99.99% pure silver. With its impressive diameter of 180 millimetres, this limited-edition piece is the largest Canadian one-cent coin ever minted. It’s so large, we even incorporated a life-sized reproduction of the 2012 one-cent design into this coin’s reverse, where its round shape forms the “0” in the year “2022”.
The ultimate tribute to the historic workhorse of Canada’s circulation coinage.
Special features
- The largest cent. The Royal Canadian Mint proudly presents the largest Canadian one-cent coin, or penny, ever minted. Crafted in the finest silver (99.99% pure), this extraordinary one-cent coin weighs five kilograms and features a 180 mm diameter.
- A 10th anniversary tribute. Enjoy this nostalgic look back at Canada’s one-cent circulation coin and its iconic design, as we mark the 10th anniversary of the last penny struck at our Winnipeg facility.
- Exceedingly rare. This is the ultimate addition to any circulation-themed collection, but only 150 are available to collectors worldwide.
- NO GST/HST. (if applicable)
Packaging
Housed in a circular capsule, your coin comes in an elegant burled-wood case bearing the Royal Canadian Mint logo and wordmark. The case provides several options for highlighting and displaying your exquisite collectible: you can leave the coin inside and view it through the lid’s round acrylic window, which is sized to the coin’s dimensions; or you can remove the insert, which doubles as a custom frame. The 8x8-inch certificate booklet is housed beneath the display compartment, in a spring-loaded drawer lined with velvet-like flocking. For added protection, the burled-wood case is packaged in a custom set-up box and arrives in a Canadian-made NanukTM protective shipping case.
