The 1911 Canadian 1-cent coin is a bronze piece composed of 95% copper, 4% tin, and 1% zinc, weighing 5.67 grams with a diameter of 25.4 mm. It features on the obverse a crowned left-facing bust of King George V, with the inscription “GEORGIVS V REX ET IND:IMP:” denoting “George V, King and Emperor of India.” The reverse displays the denomination “ONE CENT” and the word “CANADA” surrounded by a wreath of maple leaves on a vine, symbolic of Canada. This coin is noted for lacking the phrase “Dei Gratia” (“By the Grace of God”), earning it the nickname “Godless coin.” It was minted by the Royal Canadian Mint as a standard circulation coin with a milled edge and medal alignment. The obverse bust was engraved by Edgar Bertram MacKennal, and the reverse design credited to William Henry James Blakemore.
