| Additional information |
The "Natural Legacy" quarter was part of Canada's Millennium Series, a twelve-coin program released throughout 2000 pairing each month with a distinct national theme. The silver variant — struck in .925 sterling against the standard circulation nickel — was produced for collectors who wanted a complete set in precious metal rather than pocket change. The series was ambitious enough in scope that certain monthly themes proved far less popular than others, creating meaningful demand disparities across the twelve issues that persist in the secondary market today.
