2006 – 25 Cents Quarter Canada – Bravery Commemorative Coin

The 2006 Canadian 25-cent coin honoring Bravery is a special issuance by the Royal Canadian Mint to pay tribute to everyday Canadians who perform acts of courage and risk their lives to save or protect others. Designed by Cosme Saffioti, the reverse of the coin features a maple leaf surrounded by two olive branches, symbolizing peace and strength, and is encircled by the bilingual inscriptions “BRAVERY” and “BRAVOURE” along with the face value. The obverse bears a right-profile effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, created by Susanna Blunt. This commemorative coin reflects the Medal of Bravery, a Canadian honour established in 1972 and awarded by the Governor General to individuals who show “acts of bravery in hazardous circumstances.” The 2006 coin was minted in a circulation of about 20 million and was issued in brilliant uncirculated condition, serving as a lasting tribute to Canadian heroes whose selfless courage uplifts the nation.
