2017 Canada: 25 Cents 150th Anniversary of Confederation - Uncolored Version
Quality BU (Brilliant Uncirculated) — Grade: MS-60

Coin Description

This commemorative 25-cent coin was issued in 2017 by the Royal Canadian Mint to mark the 150th anniversary of Canadian Confederation (1867-2017). To celebrate this event, the Mint organized a national competition inviting Canadians to submit designs for 2017 circulation coins, based on five themes: Our Wonders, Our Character, Our Achievements, Our Passions, and Canada's Future.

The winning design for the 25-cent coin was created by young Joelle Wong. Her design depicts a turtle, a bird, and a beaver, all adorned with Indigenous motifs, stretching towards a plant growing from a pair of hands. This design symbolizes harmony with nature and the importance of Indigenous cultures in Canadian identity.

A mintage of 20,000,000 copies was released for this standard uncolored version. The presented specimen, graded MS-60, offers a basic state of preservation for an uncirculated coin, ideal for completing a collection.
