Poppy Quarter

Canadian 2004 Commemorative 25¢ Quarter Remembrance Day This quarter is encased in a dedicated plastic case with cord glued on the back to make a unisex Necklace. In 2004, the Royal Canadian Mint became a trailblazer in the minting industry when it introduced the world’s first coloured circulation coin. The 25-cent coin was produced at the Mint’s Winnipeg plant using a high-speed, computer controlled and precision inkjet process. The coin featured a brilliant red poppy, the symbol of remembrance that pays homage to the brave Canadian men and women who gave their lives in service to this nation, as well as the many veterans who helped to secure our freedom. At the Mint Directors’ Conference in Paris, France, the 2004 coloured poppy coin was named the Most Innovative Circulation Coin. This is from our Mother's collection, my Father probably made it for her.
