Canadian 1 Cent (Maple Leaf)

Brief Description

The reverse features a copper-red finish with a twig of two maple leaves, the date 2003, and the word 'CANADA'. Centered above the leaves is '1 CENT'.

Historical Significance

The Canadian penny was first issued in 1858 and the iconic maple leaf design by G.E. Kruger-Gray was introduced in 1937. In 2012, Canada officially phased out the penny from circulation due to rising production costs.
