5 oz Silver Reverse Gold-Plated Coin, 10th Anniversary of the Farewell to the Penny. This is a PRE-ORDER. The coin was just released by the Canadian Mint. It will take few weeks to arrive. REMEMBERING THE PENNY, 10 YEARS LATER! Enjoy this nostalgic look back at Canada’s one-cent circulation coin, as we mark the 10th anniversary of the last penny struck at our Winnipeg facility. The penny’s iconic maple leaf twig design is back, but there’s a twist! The twig and twin maple leaves have been given a more contemporary appearance, with geometric angles that add more depth than ever, and engraved facets that catch and reflect the light. This coin is crafted from 5 oz. Of 99.99% pure silver, which is only visible on the effigy and select design elements on the reverse. The rest of the coin is plated with beautiful yellow gold that outshines even the brightest copper penny. With its 65.25 mm diameter, this spectacular showpiece is more than three times the size of the original penny (19.05 mm). It weighs considerably more, too: 157.6 grams compared to the penny’s 2.35 grams. Only 1,500 are available to collectors worldwide. Mintage – 1,500. Composition – 99.99% pure silver with reverse (yellow) gold plating. Weight (g) – 157.6. Diameter (mm) – 65.25. Face value – 1 cent. The coin will arrive in its original Mint package.
