2012 – 25 Cents Quarter Canada – Isaac Brock Colored Commemorative Coin

The 2012 Canadian 25-cent colored coin featuring Isaac Brock was issued as part of the Royal Canadian Mint’s War of 1812 commemorative series. It honors Major General Sir Isaac Brock, a British officer celebrated for his pivotal role in defending Upper Canada against American forces during the war. The coin’s design includes a detailed portrait of Brock alongside symbolic elements, with selective coloring highlighting the red of the St. George’s Cross on the Union Jack behind him, making it stand out vividly. Like all Canadian quarters, it is struck in cupronickel, measures 23.88 mm in diameter, weighs 4.4 g, and bears the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse. This piece blends historical tribute with modern minting technology, emphasizing Brock’s legacy as the “Hero of Upper Canada.”
