Obverse: Features the "Second Portrait" of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Arnold Machin. This portrait shows a more mature Queen wearing the "Girls of Great Britain and Ireland" Tiara. Inscribed ELIZABETH II D. G. REGINA. Reverse: Features a rock dove in flight, designed by the renowned Canadian artist Alex Colville. The date is split as 1867-1967 at the base, with 1 CENT and CANADA inscribed at the top. The 1967 Centennial Penny is a standout in Canadian numismatics, part of a special one-year-only series issued to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Confederation. This coin was part of a complete redesign of all Canadian circulating currency for the centennial year. Alex Colville’s goal was to represent Canadian wildlife with "spirit and serenity." He chose the rock dove to symbolize the theme of spiritual love and peace. This 1967 one cent coin was the last Canadian penny to have a high copper content (98%). By the following year, the composition shifted significantly as metal prices rose, making the 1967 issue the final "heavy" bronze penny of the era. Dimensions: Bronze (98% Copper, 0.5% Tin, 1.5% Zinc). 19.05 mm. 3.24 g. Pickup category timeslot {A}
