Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1998-2001 Canadian Bronze 1 Cent Elizabeth II coin is that it was minted with a unique "specimen" finish, which gives it a distinctive frosted appearance. This finish was achieved through a special minting process that involved polishing the dies to create a mirror-like effect on the coin's surface. This process was only used for a limited time and makes the coin stand out from other coins in the series.
