2012 Canada 1-cent Special Wrap Farewell Roll - The Last Million Pennies

2012 Canada Special Wrap Roll - 1-cent Coins - The Last Million Circulation Pennies Distributed by the RCM (Farewell to the Penny).

The year 2012 marked the end of production of Canada's 1-cent piece. To celebrate the Penny's long history, the Royal Canadian Mint is offering a series of Commemorative products.

The last million pennies ever distributed by the Royal Canadian Mint are being offered in special Commemorative wrap rolls of 50 pennies. Each of the 50 pennies in this wrap roll features G.E. Kruger-Gray's iconic 1937 reverse design, which was used as the Canadian 1-cent piece reverse image from 1937 to 2012, with the sole exception of 1967. The image features two upright five-lobed maple leaves, the larger one on the right slightly overlapping the smaller leaf on the left. Both are attached by their stems to a small twig. The date of the penny's last production, '2012,' is engraved just below and to the left of the central image. The word 'CANADA' is engraved across the central bottom portion of the reverse field. Opposite this word, across the centre top portion of the coin, is the face value of '1 CENT.' The reverse and obverse sides are framed with a beaded circle. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt. 50 pieces are wrapped together in this special wrap roll and authenticated with a serialized holographic label.
