| Reverse description | Three vibrantly colored zinnia blossoms dominate the reverse field, rendered in vivid red and orange hues with yellow centers using applied color technology. The flowers are arranged in an overlapping cluster, with a small green leafy sprig visible behind the uppermost bloom and delicate scrolling vine motifs decorating the lower field. The legend CANADA arcs along the upper border in a stylized script, while the denomination 25 cents and date 2010 appear in matching script along the lower periphery. |

| Additional information |
Issued by the Royal Canadian Mint as part of its "Thank You" circulation-quality special release in 2010, this piece was distributed through change and retail channels rather than sold in packaging — an unusually direct method for a commemorative type. The RCM occasionally uses the quarter as a vehicle for short-run social messaging, a practice that tends to produce pieces that vanish into collections almost immediately upon release.
