2017 – 25 Cents Quarter Canada – Hope For Green Future Uncolored Commemorative Coin

The uncolored “Hope For a Green Future” 25-cent coin released by Canada in 2017 was issued as part of the country’s 150th anniversary collection, featuring a design created by young artist Joelle Wong to represent the nation’s connection to nature and its commitment to protect wildlife and the environment for future generations. Crafted primarily from steel with nickel and copper plating, the coin’s artwork displays a turtle, bird, and beaver in aboriginal-inspired patterns, reaching for a plant emerging from open hands—a powerful symbol of hope and stewardship—while inscriptions surround the image denoting “CANADA,” the double date “1867-2017,” denomination “25 CENTS,” and the artist’s initials.
