The 2004 Canadian 1-cent coin is a copper-plated zinc coin with a weight of 2.25 grams, a diameter of 19.05 mm, and a smooth edge. It features an uncrowned bust of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse side, designed by Susanna Blunt, with the inscription “ELIZABETH II D – G – REGINA.” The reverse side, designed by G. E. Kruger-Gray, displays two maple leaves on the same twig, symbolizing Canada. The coin’s mintage was approximately 653 million for the copper-plated zinc version and about 135 million for the magnetic steel-plated version (2004-P). Both versions were minted by the Royal Canadian Mint. Though many were circulated and are worth only face value, well-preserved or error variety coins can be valuable to collectors.
