1990 25 cents BU (MS-63) - CHOICE

1990 Canada: 25 Cents Caribou

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

Description of the room

This 1990 25-cent coin is a Choice BU ( Brilliant Uncirculated) example. Struck in pure nickel, it displays the bright white luster characteristic of Canadian issues of that era. The MS-63 Choice grade indicates a coin that has never circulated, selected for its superior visual appeal and exceptional preservation of its surfaces, despite normal handling at the Royal Canadian Mint.

The Obverse (Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II)

The obverse features the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Arnold Machin (second effigy). The portrait is sharp and the surrounding fields are clean, offering a uniform satin sheen that highlights the details of the crown and the royal profile.

The Reverse

It features the famous Caribou design by Emanuel Hahn. The striking is vigorous, accurately rendering the details of the antlers and fur. The date "1990" is perfectly engraved beneath the animal's chest.
