Where it came from
The 2017 Centennial Rock Dove one-cent coin was issued by the Royal Canadian Mint as part of a special commemorative program celebrating the 150th anniversary of Canadian Confederation. While the official Canadian one-cent piece was discontinued from circulation in 2013, the Mint produced this limited-edition commemorative version to honor the legacy of the denomination and reflect on Canada's natural heritage.
The reverse design features the rock dove, a species that holds symbolic significance, rendered with fine detail to capture the aesthetic precision characteristic of contemporary numismatic art. Produced in a high-quality finish, the coin served as a collector's item for those nostalgic for the iconic penny, serving as both a historical nod to the nation's currency evolution and a piece of commemorative art rather than a functional unit of trade.
