| Additional information |
Part of the 125th anniversary of Confederation series, this issue was one of thirteen provincial and territorial quarters released in 1992 — a program conceived largely as a response to Quebec's ongoing constitutional tensions, designed to visibly celebrate Canadian nationhood at a moment when its coherence was genuinely in question. The Charlottetown and Meech Lake accords had both collapsed by the time these coins reached circulation.
Saskatchewan's inclusion marked the province's 87th year since joining Confederation in 1905.
