The coin features a portrait of the Queen, symbolizing continuity in Canada’s monarchy. The use of nickel-plated steel for the 2010 25 Cent coin reflected Canada’s stable economy, which was recovering from the global financial crisis of 2008, maintaining economic strength through resource exports.
Blunt’s design for the 2010 25 Cent coin emphasized Canada’s deep ties to the British monarchy, reflecting political stability. Economically, the coin’s composition highlighted Canada’s shift towards more cost-effective materials, while symbolizing national unity and pride in a period of recovery and growth.
