Nova Scotia's Provincial 25-cent coin depicts the famous lighthouse at Peggy's Cove which used to faithfully beam its fishermen home. This immortalized landmark is anchored into a massive rock, and during the summer becomes Canada's only post office in a lighthouse.
Design
The obverse design features Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II at 64 years old, wearing a new crown, surrounded by the Latin inscription "ELIZABETH II D. G. REGINA". This was the first effigy to be designed by a Canadian, Dora de Pedery-Hunt.
For the 125th Anniversary of Canada's Confederation, twelve new 25-cent obverses were designed (one released each month) honouring the ten provinces and two territories.
Packaging
Each roll contains 40 coins of Royal Canadian Mint issued 1992 (1867-) Canadian 25-Cent Nova Scotia Confederation 125th Anniv/Provincial Quarters in original unopened condition.
