1992 Canada: 25 Cents Yukon — 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 is part of the famous 12 Provinces and Territories series. The reverse features Yukon , depicting Mount Logan, Canada's highest peak. This example is in Choice BU (Brilliant Uncirculated) condition, meaning it was carefully selected from circulation mintages for its brilliant luster and the absence of major marks often found on these commemorative coins.
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 "ELIZABETH II DG REGINA".
The Reverse (The Yukon)
Libby Dulac's drawing depicts the majestic Yukon landscape with Mount Logan in the background. It includes the commemorative dates "1867-1992" and the word "YUKON." Printed in MS-63 grade, the details of the mountains and clouds are perfectly defined.
