The Royal Canadian Mint released this commemorative quarter to celebrate the 135th Anniversary of the Confederation and the "1952 2002" dates commemorate Queen Elizabeth II's Jubilee as do all 2002 coins.
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". The "1952 2002" dates commemorate the queen's jubilee. This was the first effigy to be designed by a Canadian, Dora de Pédery-Hunt.
Designed by Judith Chartier and Stan Witten, the coin features small human figures supporting large maple leaf celebrating the Golden Jubilee on Canada Day.
