Where it came from
The 2017 Canadian one-cent coin was issued to commemorate the 150th anniversary of Confederation. While the Royal Canadian Mint had officially discontinued the production of the one-cent piece for general circulation in 2012, this commemorative edition was released as a special collector's item to honor the nation's milestone. It features a design that pays homage to the original 1967 centennial issue, which famously depicted the rock dove on the reverse.
The design was initially created by artist Alex Colville, whose work was selected for the 1967 centennial coins to represent Canada's natural heritage and spirit. The 2017 version serves as a nostalgic retrospective, maintaining the minimalist, starkly modern aesthetic that Colville championed. It was well-received by numismatists as a significant nod to Canadian history, bridging the gap between the mid-century centennial celebrations and the contemporary era.
