1992 Canada: 25 Cents British Columbia — 125th Anniversary of Confederation
BU (Brilliant Out of Circulation) Quality — Grade: MS-63 CHOICE
Description of the room
Issued in 1992 to celebrate Canada's 125th anniversary, this coin features British Columbia . The reverse design illustrates the majestic landscapes of the West Coast. This example is Choice BU ( Brilliant Uncirculated), meaning it was selected for its superior brilliance and crispness from among coins intended for circulation. As a pure nickel coin, it retains the bright "white" luster highly sought after by collectors of the provincial series.
The Obverse (Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II)
The obverse features the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Dora de Pédery-Hunt. The finish is bright and uniform, with a crisp strike of the legends and the royal profile.
The Reverse (British Columbia)
Reid Bamford's design depicts a spectacular view of Vancouver Island from the shoreline, with the Pacific Ocean and mountains in the background. It includes the commemorative dates "1867-1992" and the inscription "BRITISH COLUMBIA / COLOMBIE-BRITANNIQUE". The details of the waves and snow-capped peaks are particularly well-defined in this grade.
