For some reason, Canada produced "Maple Leaf" and "plain" varieties on its 1947 coins.
Catalog values (Krause, 2007) are:
Plain: $0.60 VG, $1.25 F, $2.50 VF, $6.00 XF, $20.00 MS60, $45.00 MS63.
Maple Leaf: Bullion value in VG, $0.55 F, $1.50 VF, $3.00 XF, $10.00 MS60, $15.00 MS63.
As it happens, I recently dug a 1947 "plain" cent while detecting. But both varieties of cent are common.

the maple leaf was added to coins minted in 1948, using the dies from 1947, while waiting for new dies without the "Ind. Imp.", since King George was no longer Emperor of India. Due to this, the 1948 dated coins are lower mintages, and much less common than other years in the series.
I'm afraid to be alive without being aware of it
