Canadian Poppy Quarter?

I don’t live in Canada. I just happened to find a Canadian quarter on the ground. I saw the red and black poppy flower and didn’t initially know what it was. I thought it was something someone had drawn, so I took a cotton swab and rubbing alcohol and tried to rub it off. I then did some research and realized that the design was not something someone had drawn, but in fact part of the coin. It’s still there, but it’s faded due to my scrubbing. Does this mean it will still be accepted as money or did I completely deface it along with its value?
