kewl ,did you notice the maple leaf next to the 7? Heres why.

Coins with the maple leaf by the date was struck in 1948 with the date 1947. Canada was waiting for new dies that reflected a new legend sans "ET: IND:IMP (And Emperor of India), since India had received its Independence.

Canada was suffering from a shortage of coins and in 1948, minted coins with the maple leaf and the date 1947 as a marker as they waited for the delivery of new dies. 1948 cents were struck with the new royal legend. There is little difference in value between the 1947 and the 1947 maple leaf cents.
