Pre-Confederation Currency: These coins represent a distinct period of Nova Scotian history before it joined the Canadian Confederation in 1867. Prior to Confederation, Nova Scotia, like other British North American provinces, issued its own currency, and these large copper cents were a key part of that system.
Decimalization: Nova Scotia adopted a decimal system of currency in 1860, with the dollar set at a rate of $5 to £1 sterling, making its currency slightly different in value compared to the Canadian and New Brunswick dollars at the time.
Design and Features:
Obverse: Features the effigy of Queen Victoria, designed and engraved by L.C. Wyon, with the inscription "VICTORIA D.G. BRITT:REG. F.D:", meaning "Victoria, by the Grace of God, Queen of the Britains, Defender of the Faith".
Reverse: Typically depicts a wreath composed of roses and mayflowers (Nova Scotia's provincial flower) surrounding the denomination "ONE CENT" and the date.
