    Canadian half cent, canadian penny

    I have a 1949 canadian coin here. Anybody now much about it? Is it easy to find a coin like this in EF?

    I also have a canadian penny that was made 2 years later (1951)

    ^^^ Yep, the ha'penny (as my mum called them as a kid!) is def. British, not Canadian. Both coins are pretty common, though.

    Ok thanks. I assumed that the british coin was canadian since both coins seem to have the same portrait on them.

    Mauritius,like the Seychelles,is now a British Commonwealth republic.Like St. Helena,Ascension,Tristan da Cunha & the Seychelles,Mauritius is classed as being part of British Africa.

    Here's an article; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mauritius .

    That's a very nice Mauritian 1 Rupee coin you've got there.
