All coins are dated 2011 and will evoke fond memories for years to come. This year's special edition holiday quarter features a lovely design of a unique snowflake, struck especially for this set! Not all snowflakes are created equal. If it is very cold, they will fall as "dry" powder. They may also take the shape of slender hexagonal columns that look like tiny wooden pencils under the microscope. The iconic star-shape people adore will only occur when the temperature is around 5° F (-15° C) and the ice crystal can grow large and drift gently earthward without hitting any other crystals. They are typically hexagonally symmetrical and form only in certain below-freezing temperature atmospheric conditions. This simple yet dry definition belies the complex splendor of the incredible snowflake, a true miracle of nature. The Holiday Mint Set In addition to the snowflake quarter, this holiday gift set includes all of the other circulation coins of Canada, each of which features a design emblematic of Canada, including: One Cent Maple Leaf Penny Five Cent Beaver Nickel Ten Cent Bluenose Schooner Dime Fifty Cent Coat of Arms Half Dollar One Dollar Common Loon "Loonie" Two Dollar Bi-Metallic Polar Bear "Toonie" Each coin has a proof-like finish and is specially-struck and hand-picked for these high-quality sets. This is the eighth annual release of the Royal Canadian Mint's special-edition Holiday Gift Set. Special Snowflake Quarter The obverse features an intricately-engraved, six-pointed snowflake, along with the message "HAPPY HOLIDAYS! JOYEUSES FETES!" along with the year, denomination, and country. Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II of England, in profile facing right, appears on the reverse.
