gxseries Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 Now I don't know if I should be happy or not... After getting myself with this nice copper coin... I bite myself in getting this Nova Scotia 1 cent. Now what is the mintage of this Nova Scotia cent? As well as, when was the word Canada introduced on the coinages?

Art Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 I don't know the answer to your questions, but I do like the Canadian Large Cents. Two very nice coins you've gotten there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jello_g Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 Now what is the mintage of this Nova Scotia cent? As well as, when was the word Canada introduced on the coinages? NS 1861 one cent: 1.8 million minted. I believe "Canada" first appeared on coins in 1858, but this referred to the province and not the dominion.

coinsnpaper Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 Canada (for Province of Canada, now Ontario and Quebec) was used on 1858 1/5/10/20 cents, and 1859 cent. Canada (for Dominion of Canada) was used from 1870 on silver coins 5/10/25/50, and 1876 on 1 cents. Nova Scotia joined in 1867, so its issues of 1861-1864, plus New Brunswick issues (same years- joined Confderation in 1867, issued coins 1861-1864), Prince Edward Island (joined 1873, issued 1 cent 1871), and Newfoundland (joined 1949, issued coins 1865-1947) were not issues of Canada at the time they were issued. This is similar to the US colonial issues of Massachusetts 1652-1682, and Maryland 1659, which were issued before the declaration of Independance. In Australia the New South Wales cut/countermarked coinage of 1813, was issued before the country was federated. The British Gold coinage before 1900 were considered issues of the different branches of the British Royal Mint, and so were not colonial issues as such.
