FIVE PURE SILVER PENNY PROOFS-EACH & EVERY ONE UNIQUE IN CANADIAN HISTORY! Low mintage, too-only 5,000 total sets! It’s like losing a friend, someone who’s been there all your life-the penny is no more. Canada has made the momentous decision to eliminate the one cent denomination, and we are sad. One of the three most collected of Canadian coins (along with the dollar and silver maple leaf), the penny has been a cornerstone of Canadian (and North American) commerce since the earliest colonial times. Now, the bureaucrats and bean counters in their offices say it costs too much to manufacture-more to fabricate, in fact, that its face value. And so, the penny must go. But not before one final flourish. The Royal Canadian Mint celebrates the much-loved penny’s exit from the financial stage with this tremendous pure silver set! Each bears the maple leaves that are the hallmark of the penny (as well as the national symbol of Canada), marking the final time they will ever grace one cent coins. But oh, what coins these are! The year 2012 marks the end of production of Canada’s 1-cent piece. To celebrate the penny’s long history, the Royal Canadian Mint is offering a series of commemorative pennies, each struck in pure silver with a proof finish. Together, these trace the history of the denomination. Though the reverse and obverse design of this penny predates the Royal Mint’s presence in Canada, when the first coin was struck on Canadian soil in 1908, it was a penny just like this one. The reverse features the maple wreath design that had been present on Canadian 1-cent coins since the Victorian era, framing a central field featuring the words “ONE CENT” and the year of production. The obverse features the effigy of King Edward VII. In 1911, George V became king and the obverse of the Canadian 1-Cent coin changed to feature the effigy of the new monarch. At the same time, a new reverse design featuring the word “CANADA” was introduced. In 1920, the Royal Mint not only made the penny smaller but also introduced a new reverse design featuring two maple leaves and the words “ONE CENT” and CANADA. ” The obverse continued to feature the effigy of King George V, though complications in 1936 caused by the abdication of King George V’s successor, Edward VIII, led the Mint to modify the 1936 dies in order to produce never-circulated George V “dot cents in the event of a delay in production of 1937 coinage. To celebrate Canada’s centennial, Canadian artist Alex Colville created a special commemorative reverse design for the penny featuring a rock dove in flight. The design featuring two maple leaves on a sprig was created by Canadian artist G. Kruger-Gray and first used in 1937. Originally composed of copper, 2012′s one cent circulation coin is made of copper-plated steel. In 1982, the shape of the penny was modified from perfectly circular to a 12-sided design to assist the visually impaired. This shape was maintained until 1997, when the penny became round again until its final striking in 2012. The Penny-A Brief History. The maple leaf gracing the one cent coin is emblematic of everything Canadian. The maple tree has been a major contributor to the development of the forestry industry as well as a source of delicious syrup! In addition the maple leaf is the central feature of the national flag of Canada. The first one cent coin was struck by the Countess of Grey at the official opening of the Ottawa branch of the Royal Mint on January 2, 1908. The Death of the Penny. Today’s rising costs of labor, metals, manufacturing, and distribution mean that each penny costs more than 1.6 cents to produce. The Royal Canadian Mint’s patented and cost-effective multi-ply plated steel technology allows it to keep production costs for all other Canadian circulation coins well under their face value; not so, however, for the one-cent piece. In its Economic Action Plan 2012, the Government of Canada announced its decision to modernize Canada’s currency set by eliminating the penny from Canada’s coinage system. While the penny will remain legal tender (it is not being demonetized, merely discontinued), the Royal Canadian Mint will no longer distribute pennies as of Fall 2012. Canadians can still spend pennies, redeem them at financial institutions, donate them to charities, or recycle them. Though the humble penny will one day soon disappear from piggy banks and cash registers everywhere, its unique role in the history of Canadian coinage remains timeless. And the penny itself, though perhaps no longer present in our pockets, will always hold a special place in our hearts. There are tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of Canadian penny collectors. And yet there are only 5,000 of these one cent sets – and they’re the only way to get these very special pennies! Each penny is found only in this set, and each is struck in the purest silver refined anywhere in the world. Making each even more special, each is a proof strike, with a retro design that commemorates the historical type of Canadian pennies of decades past. All future generations of penny collectors will need these coins to assemble a full type set or date set. Don’t let this complete 5-coin collection sell out on you, get yours today! The Royal Canadian Mint refines the purest silver in the world. Each of these unique one cent coins is 99.99% pure! See “Individual Coin Specifications” table below for more information. Each coin is encapsulated inside a luxurious, solid wood presentation case, lined with black velvet and protected by a full color, custom box. An individually-numbered certificate of authenticity is included. Please note that the outer cardboard box for this set is blast white in color, unlike nearly all other outer boxes and sleeves from the RCM (which are jet black). Because it is white, the outer box may show marks and scuffs. This is unavoidable and how these arrived from the Mint. Of course, the outer box exists solely to protect the inner box, so in that sense it’s doing its job. 5 Cents (5 x 1 Cent). 14.70 g (5 x 2.94 g). 19.10 mm (each coin). 9999 Fine (Pure) Silver. Making Change: The Story of the Canadian Penny. On the stage of Canadian currency, the humble penny has often been considered a bit player. It lacks the quarter’s size, the dime’s diminutive prestige, the nickel’s shining patina. Though ubiquitous, the penny has always been a breed apart. But the life story of Canada’s 1-cent piece is anything but dull. It is a story that not only traces the history of Canadian currency, but in many ways walks arm-in-arm with the narrative of Canada’s evolution from imperial outpost to dominion to independent nation. Moving Forward, Looking Back. On January 2, 1908-the day that the Ottawa branch of the Royal Mint was itself freshly minted-Countess Alice Grey, wife of Canada’s ninth Governor-General, Albert Henry George Grey, stepped forward and struck Canada’s first domestically produced coin: a 1-cent piece. By 2012, more than 35 billion more would be produced. Today’s rising costs of labour, base metals, manufacturing, and distribution mean that each penny costs more than 1.6 cents to produce. While the penny will remain legal tender, the Royal Canadian Mint will no longer distribute pennies as of Fall 2012. Though the humble penny will one day disappear from our midst, its unique role in the history of Canadian coinage remains timeless.

Using multiple sized and shaped blanks, the Mint has carefully replicated the designs of Canada’s 1 cent from its first domestic striking in 1908. The set includes two 2-ounce coins and three 1-ounce coins, one of which has 12 sides to mimic the penny’s shape from 1982 to 1997-all beautifully enhanced with selective pink gold plating to mimic the penny’s copper colour. INCREDIBLY LOW MINTAGE: Only 3,000 coins will be made available worldwide. UNIQUE SET INCLUDES TWO COIN SIZES: TWO 2-OUNCE COINS AND THREE 1-OUNCE COINS! The two coin sizes in this set reflect a historical change in the dimension of the penny. From the penny’s first issue in 1908 to the year 1920, the diameter of the Canadian 1-cent piece was 25.4 millimeters. Beginning later in 1920, the penny’s diameter was reduced to 19.05 millimetres. Though both sizes in this set are significantly larger than the originals, the diameter of the set’s two 2-ounce coins has been enlarged to reflect the pre-1920 large penny, while the three 1-ounce coins reflect the smaller penny that was produced after 1920.
