It was 10 years ago, in 2012, that the last Canadian penny was struck at the Winnipeg facility. Now, a decade later, the cent's maple leaf twig design has been brought out of retirement for a limited appearance on this 99.99% pure silver tribute. Struck in a tailored specimen finish, the maple leaves feature a soft satin finish, while the field is filled with angled lines that meet at the centre. Those lines are a nod to our pyramid-shaped Winnipeg facility where this "W" mint mark coin was struck, and where all our pennies were minted between 1976 and 2012.
This coin contains 1 oz. This is an unbelievable looking coin and is highly recommended!
