The Royal Canadian Mint Reimagines Classic Designs in its Latest Collector Coin Offering
PR96394
OTTAWA, ON, June 8, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
Ten years ago, the Royal Canadian Mint's Winnipeg facility struck the last
Canadian penny. Today, the Mint is releasing a 1 oz. silver collector coin
edition of the penny to commemorate the decade since it last came off the
press. The classic G. E. Kruger Gray twin maple leaf and twig design appears
atop the 2022 1-Cent Fine Silver Coin - 10th Anniversary of the Farewell to the
Penny. This collector coin tribute was appropriately struck in Winnipeg,
Manitoba, home to Canada's very own circulation coin manufacturing facility,
and the birthplace of the penny. What's more, it bears the "W" (Winnipeg) mint
mark as a symbol that identifies its origin. This new collectible, along with
several others, is available as of today.

SML, is innovatively elevated to reach a respective height of 1.8 mm and 1.4 mm
- nearly 7 times the relief found on traditional bullion coins.
