1947 Canadian 1-Cent Maple Leaf Twig Penny Coin Roll (Circulated)

1947 Canadian 1-Cent Maple Leaf Twig Penny Coin Roll (Circulated)

Small Cents - George VI (1937 - 1952)

King George V died early in 1936 and was succeeded by his son Edward VIII, whose portrait was planned for introduction on 1937 coinage. In late 1936, Edward renounced his throne and his younger brother was crowned as George VI. The obverses (head side) of the George VI issues are unique in that the monarch is bare-headed. 

Obverse

Coin depicts the design of King George VI with the Latin inscription:
GEORGIVS VI D:G: REX ET IND:IMP: meaning "George VI, by the grace of God, the King and Emperor of India."
 

Reverse

As part of an effort to modernize Canadian coins, the 1-cent features two maple leaves on the same twig known as "Maple Twig".

Roll includes 50 coins of 1947 Canada 1 Cent (Small) in circulated condition.
