Reverse descriptionThe coin recreates the classic motif of the one-cent circulation coin issued in 1967, created by Canadian artist Alex Colville: a rock pigeon with outstretched wings, seen from the front. Carefully engraved, this enlarged version of the original design offers even greater detail, particularly in the tail and wing feathers. The pigeon and the coin`s bead are enhanced by gold plating.
