The $20 Gold coin, shown larger here for viewing of design details, is actually slightly smaller, but three-times thicker than the .25 cent coin. It is also very heavy due to the gold content.

Canada's 125th birthday in 1992 saw the minting of a set of .25 cent quarters - one for each of the 10 provinces and (then) 2 territories. These sets were very popular with Canadians and most coins had limited circulation - most going into collections.
