 Canadian One Cent coins-Calgary Coin Gallery
The denomination of a cent is equal to the British 1/2 penny, but the government had them struck to the weight standard of 100 coins to the pound rather than the the British standard of 80 coins to the pound of bronze.
Unlike the silver coins of this series, the large cents were struck with medal alignment, except for a very rare variety of the 1859 which had a 180 degree die rotation causing it to have coinage alignment (we have never seen one, but they do exist).
The first cent struck under the Dominion of Canada was in 1876, at which time the weight standard was raised to 80 coins to the pound of bronze to bring them in line with the British 1/2 penny, and make the coins more acceptable to the public.
