In 1871, the Canadian government formally requested that the Royal Mint in London produce pattern and trial pieces for a proposed 20-cent denomination — a denomination that made arithmetic sense for a decimal system but proved deeply unpopular in practice because it was too easily confused with the American quarter dollar in daily commerce. This 1873 trial strike belongs to that exploratory phase, produced before the decision was made to proceed.
Canada did briefly issue circulating 20-cent pieces, but the denomination was abandoned after a single year of production in 1858 and never revived for circulation.
