A goodbye to the Canadian penny in pure silver. This 2012 $20 for $20 from the Royal Canadian Mint shows maple leaves landing on water, a nod to the maple leaf twig that appeared on the one-cent coin for decades.

Historical Significance

As the Mint's folder explains, G.E. Kruger-Gray's maple leaf twig design appeared on the penny from 1937, except for the special Centennial penny of 1967. Artist Jesse Koreck designed this tribute, and the Mint limited the coin to 250,000 pieces.

Three are in stock; you receive one of the coins shown.
