Canadian 1 Cent Piece

Brief Description

The reverse side features a twig with two maple leaves, the denomination '1 CENT' above, the year '1964' to the left, and 'CANADA' below. The obverse features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II.

Historical Significance

1964 was one of the final years before the composition of the Canadian penny began to change more frequently due to metal costs. It belongs to the Elizabeth II 'Young Head' era (1953-1964). Canada officially ceased distribution of the penny in 2013.

Estimated Value

$0.01 - $0.05 USD for circulated copies. High-grade uncirculated specimens may be worth slightly more to collectors.

Care Instructions

Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid cleaning or polishing the coin, as chemical treatments can strip the natural patina and significantly reduce its numismatic value. Use archival-quality flips or holders.
