1999 Millennium Coin Appraisal

Canadian 1999 Millennium Change 25-Cent Coin - Ingenuity (Voyageur Canoe)

This item is a Canadian 25-cent coin, minted in 1999 as part of the Millennium Change series. The coin exhibits a dodecagonal (twelve-sided) shape, typical for Canadian 'quarters'. It is composed of a golden-colored metal, likely nickel-plated steel or a similar alloy, consistent with Canadian coinage of that era. The obverse side, as visible in the image, features a design commemorating 'Ingenuity' with a stylized representation of a voyageur canoe at the bottom, extending leftwards. Above the canoe, '1999' is prominently displayed in a stacked format between the 'O's of 'MILLENNIUM'. The word 'CANADA' arcs around the top edge of the coin. The number '25 CENTS' is likely on the reverse side, which is not visible. The surface of the coin appears to have a moderate level of wear consistent with circulation, with some loss of luster and possible minor surface scratches. Patina is present, indicating age and exposure. The edges show slight rounding from use. Despite the wear, the details of the canoe, the year, and the 'CANADA' inscription are still clearly discernible. This coin represents a specific collectible commemorative issue from the Royal Canadian Mint.
