The 1915 Canada One Cent is a charming example of the classic Canadian Large Cent series, struck during the reign of King George V.

About the Design
The obverse features a left-facing portrait of King George V by sculptor Sir Edgar Bertram Mackennal, surrounded by the Latin legend GEORGIVS V DEI GRA REX ET IND:IMP: — “George V, by the Grace of God, King and Emperor of India.” The reverse displays the denomination ONE CENT within a wreath of maple leaves, with CANADA above and the date below — a distinctly Canadian composition that celebrates the nation’s natural heritage.
The Last Years of the Large Cent
The 1915 issue belongs to the final chapter of the Canadian Large Cent series, which ended in 1920 when Canada transitioned to the smaller, more practical small cent. Large Cents from this era are increasingly sought after by date collectors and Commonwealth numismatists, offering affordable access to genuine pre-WWI and wartime Canadian copper.
A delightful piece of Canadian and Imperial history, ideal for the Commonwealth collector or anyone building a type set of early Canadian coinage.
