2015 - Canadian Flag - 50 Years

Canadian 25 cent coin celebrating 50th anniversary of Canadian flag

2015
Canadian Flag - 50 Years
The coin is available in two versions: one with color, and one without.

As the Canadian Flag celebrates its 50th anniversary, the Royal Canadian Mint proudly pays tribute to our beloved national symbol by issuing both a coloured and non-coloured commemorative 25-cent circulation coin to celebrate this milestone.

Few symbols of Canada are as easily recognized and proudly displayed by Canadians as the red and white national flag featuring the emblematic red maple leaf. Canada's flag represents pride, valour, freedom and peace and is considered one of the most widely recognized national symbols in the world. But most of all, for Canadians, it represents home. To Canadians, the red maple leaf unites us by creating a common identity that bridges our different cultures, languages and beliefs.

This coin features a design of fifty children who each represent one of the flag's 50 years, as well as Canada's future. The words "50 years/ans" appear at the bottom center. The design was created by artist Bonnie Ross from Nova Scotia.

A fine silver non-circulation collectors coin with a $25 face value was also released along with this coin.

    Hi, where can I find this quarter, at which bank? My aunt has been going to several banks buying rolls of quarters but can't seem to find more coloured quarters. Do certain banks sell these quarters in rolls?

      Hello Rosabelle,
      The Mint randomly distributes "special" commemorative circulation coins along with normal coins, so every bank has the same chance of having special coins. But the Mint itself often sells rolls of special coins online and sometimes in stores (such as Post Office stores that carry Mint merchandise).

      Happy Hunting.
