Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Circulating commemorative coin 25 Cents - Elizabeth II (Wisdom) 2000 from Canada is that it features a unique reverse design that represents the theme of wisdom. The design, created by Canadian artist Robert-Ralph Carmichael, depicts a stylized image of a owl, which symbolizes wisdom, perched on a branch surrounded by oak leaves. The use of an owl as a symbol of wisdom is a nod to ancient Greek and Roman traditions, where the owl was seen as a symbol of intelligence, insight, and wisdom. This design was chosen to commemorate the 45th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II's accession to the throne, and to represent the Queen's wisdom and leadership throughout her reign.
