| General Description | The nickname for this coin is PENNY In March 2012, the Government of Canada tasked the Royal Canadian Mint to cease the production of pennies, effectively discontinuing the coin. The final penny was minted at the RCM's Winnipeg, Manitoba plant on the morning of May 4, 2012. The reverse and obverse sides are framed with a beaded circle. |
| Obv. Description | Right facing image HRH Queen Elizabeth II with her name to the left and D.G. Regina to the right and the mint mark below. |
| Rev. Description | Two (2) upright, (5) five-lobed maple leaves, the larger one on the right slightly overlapping the smaller leaf on the left. Both are attached by their stems to a small twig. 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." |
