  1. The Canadian penny is a coin that is worth one cent or one hundredth of a dollar. The Royal Canadian Mint calls it a "one-cent piece." It is also known as a cent. There are many types of Canadian coins. Each one is unique. Learn about the different varieties and their values. While the vast majority of Canadian pennies are common, there are some rare ones. Some years, the mintage may be as low as tens of millions or even billions. This can be a result of socioeconomic factors or economic recessions. If you have a rare coin, it is worth more than a coin that is circulated.

The current monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, has appeared on the obverse of these coins since 1953. The obverse of the coin has been updated three times, in 1990, 2003 and 2009. The reverse side of a coin depicts a rock dove, and was first minted in 1967. During that year, Canada celebrated its centennial, and the rock dove was introduced to commemorate this momentous occasion. There are many varieties of family necklace Canada. Among the most famous is the Maple Leaf coin, which is considered the "king" of Canadian coins. Despite its high reputation, the coin is rare.

This high grade coin would likely fetch at least US$1 million at an auction.
