1967 Canada Centennial Dove Copper One Cent
1967 Canada Centennial Rock Dove Copper One Cent
This 1967 Canada copper one cent coin was issued to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Canadian Confederation. The reverse features a graceful rock dove in flight, designed by the renowned artist Alex Colville, symbolizing peace and a bright future for the nation. The obverse displays the classic Arnold Machin portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Struck in copper, this specific issue is a one-year-only commemorative design, making it a favorite among collectors of Canadian numismatics. The coin is housed in a protective 2x2 cardboard flip, marked with KM# 65, and remains in uncirculated condition, preserving the original copper luster and fine details of the centennial artwork.
