Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Circulating commemorative coin 25 Cents - Elizabeth II (Armistice Day) 2008 from Canada is that it has a unique design that features a poppy, which is a symbol of remembrance and hope, on the reverse side of the coin. The poppy is surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves, and the coin's obverse side features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. This design was created to commemorate the 90th anniversary of Armistice Day, which marked the end of World War I. The coin's design serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by Canadian soldiers during the war and the importance of remembering and honoring their service.
