25 Cents - Elizabeth II Congratulation 2007

The "Congratulations" quarter was part of a broader RCM initiative in the mid-2000s to produce coloured circulation-quality coins themed around everyday occasions — birthdays, weddings, graduations — a strategy aimed squarely at the gift and novelty retail market. These were sold in greeting card-style packaging rather than distributed through normal banking channels, which means most examples never saw a cash register.
