I found a Canadian penny today with a date 1867-1967. No maple leafs just a bird. Did Canada make a centennial version of their coinage in 67? I've never seen one like this.

always have called them birdy pennies. Probably always will

You are right, it is for the centennial. The 5-cent coin is a rabbit...

All denominations featured engravings by wildlife artist Alex Colville.
1 cent=rock dove in flight (copper)
5 cent=rabbit hopping (pure Ni)
10 cent- fish (silver)
25 cent - cougar walking (silver)
50 cent - wolf howling (silver)
$1 - Canada Goose in flight (silver)

Thats a nice looking set. Just picked one up not sure if I will keep it or sell it yet. The howling wolf is great

I remember those (and the fish dimes) from a long time ago. Found a dove cent recently in a penny roll.
