1968 25 cent Nickel UNC

1968 25 cents Canada (Nickel)

The 1968 Canadian 25-cent coin marks a major transition in the minting of Canadian currency. For the first time, the Royal Canadian Mint introduced a pure nickel 25-cent coin for circulation. Its reverse continues to feature the classic caribou motif, designed by Emanuel Hahn, a design that has become a national emblem. The obverse features the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, as on previous coins. This 1968 nickel coin is a key item for collectors, representing the beginning of the modern era of Canadian coinage. It weighs 5.05 grams. It is a fitting addition to any collection of the country's modern coins.
