Canadian Coin 1873 - 1973

I had a slow day today, only one memorial penny and a interesting Canadian quarter.
It seems to be a commemorative coin from 1973, does anyone know if its silver?

Joe:
It's nickel. The value to that coin is in the number of beads near the border. If 120, then it's 'common'. If 132, then you have a valuable coin; maybe $100 if in MS-60 or better.
