2020 Canada 1/10 oz. Pure Gold Coin - Tribute to Alex Colville Series: - 1967 1-Cent Coin

Final coin! Complete your 2020 Colville collection.

"The dove (rock dove) — very common, in cities as well as the country…[has] associations with spiritual values and also with peace." Alex Colville

The final coin in our 99.99% pure gold centennial tribute to Alex Colville features the artist's most well-known numismatic design: Canada's "rock dove" one-cent circulation coin. The Colville-designed image of a bird in flight made the 1967 Canadian penny stand out from those issued in other years, when the piece featured either amaple leaf wreath (1858-1920), two maple leaves (1920-1936) or a maple twig (1937-2012).
