Where it came from
Issued in 2002 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II's accession to the throne, this Canadian one-cent coin features a special reverse design by artist Phyllis MacLeod. The design depicts the royal cypher and the dates 1952 and 2002, replacing the traditional maple leaf motif, and was intended to celebrate the Golden Jubilee during a period when the Royal Canadian Mint was updating its portraiture of the Queen.
This specific iteration is notable for being produced as a non-magnetic version, part of the transition away from the copper-plated steel composition that would later become the standard for Canadian circulating coinage. It was released alongside a wide range of commemorative products, reflecting the Mint's effort to balance traditional numismatic appeal with the modern technical shifts in currency production that eventually led to the discontinuation of the one-cent piece in 2012.
