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.

March: Achievement

Designed by Daryl Ann Dorosz, this coin captures the theme of human achievement, spotlighting the grand scale of space exploration. The striking design is framed by the bilingual inscriptions "CANADA" and "ACHIEVEMENT 2000 RÉALISATION."
