The Canadian 2007 25 Cent coin, designed by Susanna Blunt, features Queen Elizabeth II’s effigy and a caribou, a long-standing symbol of Canada’s wilderness. This coin was minted during Canada’s transition to a steel core with nickel plating, reflecting cost-saving measures due to rising metal prices. The Canadian 2007 25 Cent highlights the Royal Canadian Mint’s shift toward durable, lower-cost materials while maintaining traditional designs.
Politically, the Canadian 2007 25 Cent represents Queen Elizabeth II’s continued presence on Canadian currency, emphasizing national identity. Economically, the move to steel reduced production costs amid fluctuating metal markets. The Canadian 2007 25 Cent remains a key example of modernizing coinage while preserving heritage.
