Description
Issued by the Royal Canadian Mint in 2000, this sterling silver commemorative 25-cent coin is a piece from the special Millennium Series.
In April 1998 the RCM launched a nationwide design competition, inviting Canadians to create twenty-four unique quarters for each month of 1999 and 2000. While the 1999 coins reflected on Canada’s rich history, the 2000 collection turned its gaze toward the future.
December: Community
Michelle Thibodeau’s coin design depicts the Earth through a map of Canada, which is ringed by homes, trees, and symbols of community. It is finished with the bilingual text "CANADA" and "COMMUNITY 2000 COMMUNAUTÉ."
