Each coin featured on the reverse was specially selected to highlight key moments in Canada's historysince Confederation, from the effigies of the various Kings and Queens who have reigned over our constitutional monarchy to the moments that have pressedus toward the modern era.

Canadian coinage has featured numerous effigies of the six monarchs who have reigned since Confederation, including four effigies of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II throughout her 63-year reign.
Though the 1-cent coin was discontinued in 2012, its beautiful maple leaf twig reverse design by G.E. Kruger-Gray was so iconic that we have included it here.
