1936 dot one cent CANADA. one of the rarest coins in Canada. Sold at auction for $445,000.
This coin involves the story King Edward VIII's sudden abdication in late 1936 which saw George VI ascend to the throne. This caused a major problem for the Royal Canadian Mint because they didn't have any dies with the new king's effigy on them to strike the 1937 coinage. Their solution was to produce a small number of 1936 coins with a tiny raised "dot" just below the date to denote that they were struck in 1937.
