1999 – 25 Cents Quarter Canada – March Commemorative Coin

The 1999 Canadian March 25-cent coin, known as “The Log Drive” Millennium Quarter, was part of a special two-year commemorative program by the Royal Canadian Mint celebrating the new millennium. The 1999 series highlighted Canada’s past, and this March coin specifically depicts the historical significance of Canadian raftsmen and their contribution to the country’s growth and prosperity. It was made of 100% nickel for circulation, weighing 5.05 grams and measuring 23.88 mm in diameter, with a mintage of over 15 million coins. Additionally, a collector’s sterling silver proof version was produced, featuring a frosted finish and housed in an elegant oval case with a certificate of authenticity.
