DESCRIPTION
The Legacy of Liberty set of limited-edition coins contains three pure Silver Maple Leaf coins with the following privy marks: D-Day, VE Day and VJ Day. An additional colourized Poppy quarter is a stirring symbol shared by the VFW and Royal Canadian Legion of the ultimate sacrifice and price so many paid for freedom.
In 2004, The RCM released a special 25-cent to commemorate the men and women who served the great country of Canada in achieving liberty and peace. It was the world's first coloured circulation coin and it immediately became a big hit and a collector's item. It was named the Most Innovative Circulation Coin in the Mint Directors' Conference (MDC) in France. 30 million of these coins were minted. With a face value of 25 cents, the reverse of the coin comes with a coloured image of the poppy, a powerful symbol of remembrance, while the obverse displays the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
