In 2004, the Royal Canadian Mint issued the 25-cent Poppy coin, and it’s the first colored circulation coin in the world. Definitely it’s a great choice for every collector.

In the middle of a maple leaf on this circulation coin, the red poppy is stamped on it and surrounded with the legend “Remember Souvenir”, and printed with the coin’s facial value and the inscription “CANADA 2004”. Poppy is the known symbol of remembrance of the sacrifice during the Wartime; so many commemorative coins are designed with it.

Parks Canada is the world’s first system of national parks.

All of them capture the essence of Canada’s natural, historical, and cultural treasures, and their themes will include boreal forest, orca, wood bison, and peregrine falcon which can present the Parks properly.

Here I would mainly talk about the three new 25-cent circulation coins, which feature the Orca, Peregrine Falcon, and Wood Bison separately; half of them will be colored.

Do you notice their colors? These 25-cent circulation coins are filled with blue, yellow, and green colors, not the only red. It’s the first time to do this because of the development of the manufacturing level. As a professional coin collector, you should have them to remember this landmark.
