1988 25 cents BU (MS-63) - CHOICE

1988 Canada: 25 Cents Caribou

BU (Brilliant Out of Circulation) Quality — Grade: MS-63 CHOICE

Description of the room

This 1988 25-cent coin is a Choice BU ( Brilliant Uncirculated) example, placing it among the finest specimens from that year's production. In the late 1980s, the Royal Canadian Mint produced these coins in pure nickel, offering a bright white luster and hardness that preserves the striking details. The MS-63 Choice grade guarantees a coin that has never been in circulation, with a vivid luster and visual appeal significantly superior to the average period roll.

The Obverse (Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II)

The obverse features the second effigy of Queen Elizabeth II (by Arnold Machin). The portrait is rendered with great finesse, and the surrounding fields are clean, displaying a uniform satin sheen characteristic of a collector's grade.

The Reverse

It features Emanuel Hahn's famous Caribou design. The strike is strong, showing full detail of the antlers and the texture of the animal's coat. The date "1988" is clear and free of any die-filling flaws.
