| Additional information |
The 1992 Canadian provincial quarters were issued to mark the 125th anniversary of Confederation, with each province and territory receiving its own reverse design — twelve coins in total, intended for circulation rather than collector sets alone. Ontario's piece was part of a series that genuinely did circulate, making worn examples far more common than for most commemorative programs of this scale.
This is also the first year the Royal Canadian Mint transitioned the circulating 25-cent piece from pure nickel to nickel-plated steel, a cost-reduction measure driven by rising commodity prices throughout the late 1980s.
