One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Cent - Victoria (Pattern) 1865 from Newfoundland (Canadian provinces) made of Bronze weighing 5.45g is that it was designed by Leonard Charles Wyon, a renowned engraver and designer at the Royal Mint in London. Wyon's design features a youthful portrait of Queen Victoria, surrounded by a wreath of maple leaves, which was a symbol of Canada. This coin was never circulated and was only produced as a pattern, making it a rare and valuable collector's item for numismatists.
