The three 1-ounce coins have a diameter of 38 millimetres. The face value for all five coins is 1 cent. The 2-ounce coins feature the original reverse design from Canada’s 1908 1-cent piece: a vine-like wreath of 16 maple leaves framing a centre field engraved with the face value. The wreath is framed on both sides with raised dots. The 1-ounce coins feature the original reverse designs from 1920 and 1967, and the 12-sided design from 1982. The 1920 replica features two maple leaves on either side of the reverse field, flanking the face value. The 1967 coin features Alex Colville’s iconic rock dove. The 1982 replica features G. Kruger-Gray’s maple leaf twig, originally introduced in 1937. Its 12-sided design recalls the shape of the penny from 1982 to 1997. On January 2, 1908, Canada’s first domestically produced coin was struck: a beautifully designed 1-cent piece featuring a polished centre wreathed by a vine of 16 maple leaves. This motif was bordered on each side by a frame of raised dots. The penny’s design remained this way until 1920, when the Mint updated the denomination’s reverse and reduced its diameter. The new design, created by Fred Lewis, is composed of two maple leaves flanking the denomination. The obverse featured the effigy of King George V. The 1930s were a time of growing nationalism in Canada. In the decade leading up to the Second World War, many of Canada’s major federal and cultural institutions were founded, including the Bank of Canada and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation/Radio-Canada. In 1937, the Royal Canadian Mint took on the task of modernizing Canadian coinage. That year marked the introduction of artist G. Kruger-Gray’s iconic maple leaf twig design, which remained the penny’s reverse image every year except Canada’s centennial year, 1967, until the denomination’s cancellation in 2012. Though the penny is no longer in production, and appears less frequently in our pocket change, it continues to hold a special place in the story of Canadian coinage. To celebrate Canada’s centennial in 1967, famed Canadian artist Alex Colville created a special commemorative set of designs for each circulation coin denomination. His design for the 1-cent piecean image of a rock dove in flightis still found in circulation today. In 1982, the penny’s shape was amended from perfectly round to 12-sided to make it easier for the visually impaired to distinguish between denominations. The shape remained 12-sided until 1997.

Through its colorful artistry, this egg-shaped coin pays tribute to Ukrainian-Canadian culture through an art form that has become a cherished part of Canada’s vibrant multicultural heritage. Crafted from 99.99% pure silver with a low mintage set to just 5 000 pieces, this is the second egg-shaped coin by the Royal Canadian Mint – a fitting canvas for re-creating the handcrafted artistry of a Ukrainian Easter egg. The reverse design by Canadian artist Ann C. Marash weaves together patterns and symbols that capture the artistry of a Ukrainian Easter Egg. Positioned within four triangular segments are golden blades of wheat, which convey best wishes for harvest and the soul of the clan. Beneath this overlay, the field is filled with the geometric figures that represent the sun and stars, to symbolize life, fortune and growth. These are framed by bands of waves that celebrate water as a life-sustaining element and harmony, which are in turn framed by evergreen boughs positioned along the edge, to symbolize eternal health and youth. All are beautifully enhanced by the meticulous application of colors that each carry deeper meaning: yellow represents light and purity; red is the color of joy and folklore; green is associated with fertility, health and spring, which brings hope and renewal; and black suggests the darkest time before the dawn, and the idea of constancy and eternity.
