<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Amos 811, post: 3913314, member: 73711&quot;]&quot;Some 1947 1 cent pieces have a small maple leaf after the date. These were struck in 1948 while the mint was awaiting the production of new dies for the obverse. The inscription was changed from REX ET IND:IMP (King and Emperor of India) to REX in 1948 due to India gaining it’s independence from the British Empire in 1947. So perhaps the biggest significance could be that this coin represented the last year before the collapse of the British Empire began with the independence of India and Pakistan, with the independence of many of it’s former colonies occurring in the next decades to follow.&quot; <a href="https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-significance-of-a-1947-Canadian-penny" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-significance-of-a-1947-Canadian-penny" rel="nofollow">https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-significance-of-a-1947-Canadian-penny</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
