2007 – 25 Cents Quarter Canada – Olympic Wheelchair Curling Commemorative Coin

In 2007, Canada commemorated wheelchair curling in the context of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games by issuing a special 25-cent circulation coin. This coin features a design by Glen Green depicting a wheelchair curling player in front of a maple leaf. It was part of an extensive Canadian coin program honoring the 2010 Games, which included a series of circulation and collector coins related to various Olympic and Paralympic sports. The wheelchair curling coin is inscribed with “25 cents” and “VANCOUVER 2010” and was circulated in a substantial mintage of about 22.4 million coins. This issuance highlighted wheelchair curling, which had been officially introduced as a Paralympic medal sport in 2006, underscoring Canada’s recognition and support for Paralympic sports.
