1999-2000 - Elizabeth II - Millennium Quarter
In April 1998, the Mint announced the Millennium Coin Design Contest, a contest open to all Canadians to submit designs for twenty-four millennium quarters, one for each month of 1999 and 2000. The 1999 designs were meant to look back on Canada's past, while the 2000 designs looked to the future. While the 1999 coins were labeled with their month of issue, the 2000 coins were labeled with the relevant theme (see below). REF Canada: 1999-2000 Millennium 25 Cent Series Source: typesets.wikidot.com To celebrate the new millennium, Canada created a two year circulating commemorative program that would be conducted in two parts (one in 1999 and one in 2000). Each program released 12 quarters per year ( 1 per month) and each featured a unique design. The 1999 plan featured designs representative of Canada's past. In an open design contest called “Create a Centsation” over 33,000 designs were submitted for consideration. The 2000 plan featured designs representative of Canada's dreams for a new millennium. A second design contest was held and over 66,000 designs were submitted for consideration. 1999 - January - A Country Unfolds - Mintage: 12,181,200 When put together the four images in this coin form the year 1999 1999 - February - Etched in Stone - Mintage: 14,469,250 Design features native petroglyphs that capture the historical heritage & spirituality of Canada 1999 - March - The Log Drive - Mintage: 15,033,500 Historical reference of Canadian raftsmen and the significant contribution they made to the growth and prosperity of Canada 1999 - April - Our Northern Heritage - Mintage: 15,446,000 Design features Inuit art 1999 - May - The Voyagers - Mintage: 15,566,100 Homage to the explorers & pioneers that mapped the new lands and created the fur trade 1999 - June - From Coast to Coast - Mintage: 20,432,750 Celebrates the historic Pacific Railway that connects Canada from coast to coast 1999 - July - A Nation of People - Mintage: 17,321,000 One continuous line depicts six people, representing law & order, learning, teaching, the arts, nature, and sports 1999 - August - The Pioneer Spirit - Mintage: 18,153,700 Celebrates pioneers who came to Canada from other countries to enjoy prosperity and new beginnings 1999 - September - Canada Through a Child's Eye - Mintage: 31,539,350 Three children holding hands representing a united nation 1999 - October - A Tribute to First Nations - Mintage: 32,136,650 Symbolic representation of Canada's first inhabitants, the eagle, bear and killer whale represent the air, land, & sea 1999 - November - The Airplane Opens the North - Mintage: 27,162,800 Design pays tribute to the bush plane and its contribution to opening access to northern Canada 1999 - December - This is Canada - Mintage: 43,339,200 The 13 gear teeth on a wheel represents the 13 provinces, symbol celebrates Canada's rich variety – wheat fields, forests, mountains, native dwellings, and cities REF 25 Cents - Elizabeth II December Source: en.numista.com KM# 353 Features Country Canada Year 1999 Value 25 Cents Metal Nickel Weight 5.05 g Diameter 23.8 mm Thickness 1.58 mm Engravers Dora De Pédery-Hunt (obverse) Shape Round Edge Reeded REF Quick Coinage Facts Source: typesets.wikidot.com Years Minted: 1999-2000 Number of Types: 24 Composition: 100% Nickel Diameter: 23.8 mm Weight: 5.03 grams Total Mintages: ???
