Manitoba's Provincial 25-cent coin depicts the Southwest Bastion of Lower Fort Garry and part of its surrounding wall. The fort was established by the Hudson's Bay Company as an administrative centre to replace the original Fort Garry, severely damaged by the flood of 1826. The fort was subsequently donated to Canada and became a National Historic Park in 1951.
The obverse design features Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II at 64 years old, wearing a new crown, surrounded by the Latin inscription "ELIZABETH II D. G. REGINA". This was the first effigy to be designed by a Canadian, Dora de Pédery-Hunt.
For the 125th Anniversary of Canada's Confederation, twelve new 25-cent obverses were designed (one released each month) honouring the ten provinces and two territories.
Each roll contains 40 coins of Royal Canadian Mint issued 1992 (1867-) Canadian 25-Cent Manitoba Confederation 125th Anniv/Provincial quarters in original unopened condition.
