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.
