British Columbia's Provincial 25-cent coin depicts the province's great natural beauty, characterized by its coastal mountains and broad coniferous forests. Two killer whales, which are among the thirty-five whale species found in Canadian waters, are portrayed in the foreground.
Design
The obverse design features Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II at 64 years old, wearing a new crown, surrounded by the Latin inscription "ELIZABETH II D. G. REGINA". This was the first effigy to be designed by a Canadian, Dora de Pedery-Hunt.
For the 125th Anniversary of Canada's Confederation, twelve new 25-cent obverses were designed (one released each month) honouring the ten provinces and two territories.
Packaging
Each roll consists of 40 coins of Royal Canadian Mint issued 1992 (1867-) Canadian 25-Cent British Columbia Confederation 125th Anniv/Provincial Quarter coin in original unopened condition.
