2002 - 1 Cent - 5 oz. Pure Silver Coin – 10th Anniversary of the Last Penny

Canada's penny returns… as a 5 oz. fine silver coin! To mark the 10TH anniversary of the last Canadian one-cent circulation coin ever minted, we brought back G. E. Kruger Gray's iconic maple leaf twig design and reproduced it on a bigger scale—and in 99.99% pure silver. With its 65 mm diameter, this limited-edition tribute offers you an enlarged view of all those familiar details. And there's a twist: a reproduction of the last penny struck in 2012 has been incorporated into this coin's reverse, where it forms the “0” in the year “2022”.
