Description:
Presented is a Canada 1896 One Cent Large Copper Coin featuring Queen Victoria on the obverse and the elegant Maple Leaf reverse. This example is the desirable Far “6” variety, easily identified by the wider spacing between the “9” and “6” in the date. Graded Extra Fine (EF), the coin displays sharp detail in the Queen’s portrait, crown, and hair, with only light wear on the highest points. The reverse features well-defined maple leaves and bold lettering, enhanced by a rich, natural copper tone.
Struck in solid copper, the 1896 issue is among the final Victorian large cents, and the Far “6” variety adds collectible interest for specialists and advanced Canadian coin collectors.
