Red Maple Leaf On a Grey Quarter

A two colour coin.

 

From 2012 to 2014 Canada issued 25 cent coins (quarters) to commemorate Canadian heros of the War of 1812 which included a painted red Maple Leaf on top of the coin.

This quarter issued in 2013, features Lieutenant Colonel Charles-Michel de Salaberry who during Battle of Châteauguay in October 1813, with his force of 1700, turned back an invading American force of 3000 troops, which helped to prevent the American take-over of Canada.
