Comment
Own this “W” mint mark tribute to Canada’s penny!It was 10 years ago, in 2012, that the last Canadian penny was struck at our Winnipeg facility. Now, a decade later, the cent’s maple leaf twig design has been brought out of retirement for a limited appearance on this 99.99% pure silver tribute. Struck in a tailored specimen finish, the maple leaves feature a soft satin finish, while the field is filled with angled lines that meet at the centre. Those lines are a nod to our pyramid-shaped Winnipeg facility where this “W” mint mark coin was struck, and where all our pennies were minted between 1976 and 2012.
Gone but not forgotten! Relive your memories of the penny with this “struck in Winnipeg” tribute.
A tribute to the penny! This 1 oz. tailored specimen silver coin pays tribute to Canada’s copper-coloured cent on the 10ᵗʰ anniversary of the last penny struck at our Winnipeg facility.
Double the size! With a 38 mm diameter, this coin is nearly double the size of a 2012-dated penny (19.05 mm). Its enlarged view brings renewed appreciation for a design that was once an everyday part of our lives.
An exclusive opportunity! Only 15,000 are available to collectors worldwide.
Includes serialized certificate! The Royal Canadian Mint certifies all of its collector coins.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the "Farewell to the Penny" coin is that it was minted to commemorate the final year of the Canadian penny's production. The coin's design features a unique reverse proof finish, which gives the coin a distinctive look. The reverse proof finish is achieved by frosting the background and polishing the raised elements, creating a striking contrast between the two. This technique adds an extra layer of depth and visual interest to the coin, making it a truly unique collector's item.
