Gorgeous white Canada PRIDE quarter with prooflike luster and very strong strike. Very light contact marks are present commensurate with MS66/67 grade (possible upgrade).

To celebrate the new millennium, Canada created a two-year circulating commemorative program conducted in two parts (one in 1999 and one in 2000). Each program released 12 quarters per year (1 per month) and each featured a unique design. The 2000 plan featured designs representative of Canada's dreams for a new millennium.
