The 2011 Canadian 1 cent magnetic coin is composed of copper-plated steel, making it magnetic, unlike the non-magnetic version which is copper-plated zinc. It has a weight of 2.35 grams, a diameter of 19.05 mm, a plain smooth edge, and was minted by the Royal Canadian Mint. The coin features an uncrowned bust of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse side and two maple leaves on the same twig on the reverse. This magnetic version had a circulation mintage of about 361,350,000 coins and is valued by collectors based on condition, with mint state coins being worth more. Both sides bear the lettering typical for Canadian pennies, with the reverse reading “1 CENT 2011 CANADA” and the obverse reading “ELIZABETH II D – G – REGINA”.
