Interesting fact
The 25-cent coin commemorating the Calgary Stampede in 2012 features a unique design that showcases the event's rich history and culture. The coin's reverse side features a depiction of a cowboy riding a bucking bronco, surrounded by the words "Calgary Stampede" and "2012." The obverse side features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, as is customary for Canadian coins. What makes this coin particularly interesting is that it was minted using a special process that created a unique texture and appearance. The coin's background features a wavy pattern that resembles the rough, rugged terrain of the Canadian West, while the images of the cowboy and the Queen are raised and polished to create a striking contrast. This coin is a true collector's item for anyone interested in Canadian history, culture, or numismatics.
