PR95331
OTTAWA, ON, April 6, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
On May 4, 2012, the last penny was struck in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Ten years
later, the Mint is boldly commemorating that special moment in numismatic
history with the 2022 5 oz. One-Cent Fine Silver Coin – 10th Anniversary of the
Farewell to the Penny. This imposing coin features a modern interpretation of
the penny's familiar twin maple leaf and twig design. The re-imagining of G. E.
Kruger Gray's 1937 design is achieved by a dazzling array of geometric facets
that radiate light at multiple angles from the centre of a 99.99% pure silver
selectively gold-plated coin. This innovative new collectible, among several
other finely crafted offerings, is available as of today.

The Mint has also taken innovation to a new level with its first-ever Super
Incuse coins, an engraving technique that produces an incredibly detailed
imprint below the surface of a coin. While normally incuse designs reach a
depth of 0.3 mm, the 2022 $20 Fine Silver Coin – Super Incuse 1 oz. Silver
Maple Leaf and the 2022 $200 Pure Gold Coin – Super Incuse 2 oz. Gold Maple
Leaf are five times deeper, creating unforgettable tributes to the Mint's
celebrated Maple Leaf family of pure gold and silver bullion coins.

- The 2022 $20 Fine Silver Coin and $250 Pure Gold Coin - Her Majesty Queen
Elizabeth II's Diamond Diadem, both designed by Jori van der Linde;
