The two images on the Reverse of the 25 Cent Coin seen when tilted from side to side which presents the lenticular effect

Optimus Prime is the voice of reason, compassion and courage - a superhero in robot form. As the charasmatic leader of the AUTOBOTS, OPTIMUS PRIME is dedicated to doing what is right while protecting all sentient beings. His belief in freedom and justice never waivers, even when he battles the villainous DECEPTICONS and his arch-nemesis MEGATRON. OPTIMUS PRIME is the strongest of all Autobots and also a pacifist.

 The Reverse of the lenticular 25 Cents Coin shows the vehicle transform into Optimus Prime. Optimus Prime instantly changes from a Truck/vehicle mode to a "Robots in disguise" mode and back again in a fiery mode, when the Coin is tilted from side to side. When he changes into a Robot mode, the character splits into three different components - a drone named "ROLLER", a combat deck named "ION BLASTER" and the familiar robot module called the BRAIN CENTRE",( which is shown on this Coin).

In the vehicle mode , "Generation I" OPTIMUS PRIME is a semi.

The inscriptions are - "CANADA" (on the upper periphery) and "25 CENTS, 2019" on the lower periphery.
