Where it came from
The 2022 Canadian one-cent coin marked a poignant end to a century of history. While the Royal Canadian Mint officially ceased the production of the penny for circulation in 2012, this 2022 issue was minted as a final commemorative tribute to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, who passed away that same year. It serves as a vestige of the long-standing tradition of the Maple Leaf design, which had become a cultural fixture in Canadian daily life for generations.
The design of the 2022 specimen maintains the classic G.E. Kruger-Gray maple leaf motif, which has graced the reverse of the penny since 1937. While the original coins were struck in copper-plated steel, these final commemorative versions were selectively gold-plated to honor the platinum jubilee and the conclusion of the Queen's reign. The item was produced specifically for collectors to mark the historic transition, reflecting a somber yet celebratory appreciation for the monarch's seven decades on the throne.
