2012 Canadian 1-Cent Farewell to the Penny/Last One Million Special Wrap Coin Roll

2012 Canadian 1-Cent Farewell to the Penny/Last One Million Special Wrap Coin Roll

The last million circulation pennies!

The last million pennies ever distributed by the Royal Canadian Mint offered in special commemorative wrap rolls of 50 pennies. Each of the 50 pennies in this roll features G.E. Kruger-Gray's iconic 1937 reverse design, which was used as the Canadian 1-cent piece reverse image from 1937 to 2012, with the sole exception of 1967.

Own a piece of history! In this unique venture, we are offering the last one million Canadian 1-cent pieces ever distributed to Canadians in 50-cent rolls.

Please Note: As 2012 one-cent circulation coins were made with both copper-plated steel and copper-plated zinc, these special wrap rolls may contain a combination of both compositions, or all copper-plated steel and all copper-plated zinc coins

Design

The date of the penny's last production, "2012," is engraved just below and to the left of the central image. The word "CANADA" is engraved across the central bottom portion of the reverse field. Opposite this word, across the centre top portion of the coin, is the face value of "1 CENT." The reverse and obverse sides are framed with a beaded circle. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.

Packaging
