New icon for Camwyn

The Royal Canadian Mint held a contest to create a design for a commemorative quarter for this year’s Canada Day (July 1st). Each year a new coin is designed, and one is given to each new citizen sworn in during Celebrate Canada Week (the week leading up to Canada Day). Here’s the winning design, by 11-year-old Nick Wooster, of Saanichton, BC. If you want one for your very own, try hunting around on the mint’s website, maybe you’ll have better luck finding the page than I had.

And while you’re there, check out these cool Canadian two-dollar coins. Almost as spiffy as the British two-pound coins.
