This coin celebrates Canada's 100 years of nationhood. I have a similar coin for the 50th and 25th anniversaries, too. I found each of them at different times searching bank and customer rolled cents. I think that is an albatross on the reverse; but, some sites say it is a dove or "rock pigeon." I always admire how delightfully pretty Queen Elizabeth II appears on her coins.

 

We're celebrating our 150th this year.
Btw - From the Royal Canadian Mint site - 1967 Reverse design by Alex Colville of a rock dove in flight

 

I have one of them.

 

This looks like a proof, but it is just a plain old standard issue.

 

Thank you so much for bringing the 150 anniversary to my attention. (Happy Birthday). I will go to the Royal Canadian Mint site and see about getting a commemorative coin so I have all of them! And thanks about settling that issue (I had) about what kind of bird was on the reverse.

 

Trinidad & Tobago, too!
(Hummingbirds are amazing creatures.)

 

Oh, Man!

 

Your Indian coins are gorgeous. I've never seen any before. I don't know why I imagined they would be rather rustic. (Ignorance). They are beautiful. Thank you for showing them to us.

 

Okay, so I think it's funny.

 

I don't see that Fiji has been represented on this thread. So, here's Fiji.

 

That supposed to be an invisible man on a trampoline? Lol
