General Description The Royal Canadian Mint, together with the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation, unveiled the world's second coloured circulation coin. The 25-cent coin features the iconic pink ribbon, the symbol of hope and awareness in the effort to create a future without breast cancer.
Obv. Description The effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II changed again in 2003, when she was 77 years old. Susanna Blunt, a Canadian, designed this effigy. The effigy currently appears on Canadian coins surrounded by the inscription ELIZABETH II D G REGINA. The effigy is reminiscent of that of her father, His Majesty King George VI, who acceded to the throne in his later years and also elected to forgo the crown.
