Issued in 2013, this Canada 25-Cent colourized coin is part of the Royal Canadian Mint’s acclaimed “Magnified Beauty” series, featuring the Eastern Prickly Pear Cactus (Opuntia humifusa) in stunning macro-detail. The coin highlights the vivid yellow and red bloom of this unique Canadian cactus, brought to life through advanced selective colour technology.

Struck in nickel-plated steel, the coin is housed in its original Royal Canadian Mint presentation packaging, complete with bilingual descriptive insert.
