Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1998 Canadian Elizabeth II 1 Cent coin is that it features a unique "antique finish" that gives the coin a distinctive, aged appearance. This finish was achieved through a special process that involved applying a chemical treatment to the coin's surface, which created a subtle, textured effect that resembles the natural wear and tear of an older coin. This finish was only used on a limited number of coins produced by the Royal Canadian Mint that year, making it a rare and sought-after feature among collectors.
