Comment

On July 1, 2017 the metal composition of the 25 cents changed into a steel core with a copper-nickel overlay, which makes this coin magnetic.

Since this change took place in the middle of the year it's likely the 2017 coin exists in old and new metal composition, so be aware to tick the right entry when adding a 2017 coin, especially since there are several other entries in between.

Interesting fact

The 25 cent coin from Trinidad and Tobago features a unique design that reflects the country's rich cultural heritage. On the obverse side of the coin, you'll find an image of the national bird of Trinidad and Tobago, the Scarlet Ibis, which is known for its bright red plumage. The coin's reverse side features a depiction of the Trinidad and Tobago coat of arms, which includes a shield with three hummingbirds and a motto that reads "Together we aspire, together we achieve." This design was created by the Trinidad and Tobago artist, Alison Seivers, and it's a beautiful representation of the country's natural beauty and cultural identity.
