There are no British Pennies with pigs on them. All British One (New) Penny coins have a Crowned Portcullis with chains on the reverse.
What's the value of a 1995 Canadian penny with Queen Elizabeth II on one side and 2 leaves on the other
The only 1857 coin with Queen Victoria and Britannia on opposite sides and roughly the size of a Penny, is a Penny.
$1,000.
The other song was 'These Are The Days of Our Lives'.
Don't assume that every 1-cent coin with the Queen's image on it is from Canada. You're describing a so-called "hog penny" issued by Bermuda. It's only worth 1 cent and has the name Bermuda on it, not Canada.
The head of a penny is obviously the queens head, and the tail is that thing on the other side of the penny.
A penny with Queen Elizabeth II on one side and a Canada leaf on the other side is a Canadian one-cent coin minted between 1953 to 2012. In terms of monetary value, it holds its face value of one cent. However, due to Canada phasing out the penny in 2013, it is no longer in circulation and may hold some collector's value, depending on its condition and rarity.
I'll use the crystal ball and suggest that you have a British Penny or Half-Penny. The "head" on one side is that of Queen Victoria. What you suspected as a "seated liberty" is an interpretation of the goddess Brittania.
No. Queen Elizabeth I died in 1603 and Queen Elizabeth II was born in 1926.
One side of the penny pictures the Lincon Memorial in Washington D.C. The other side (the side with the person on it) pictures Abraham Lincoln. The penny is pretty much a tribute to Abraham Lincoln
I believe you mean the design of the coin... Since Queen Elizabeth became Queen in 1953, the heads side has depicted her. On the tails side, there is a symbol of Canada, two maple leaves.
Because his head is on one side and his tail on the other!!
