1993 Canada: 25 Cents Caribou
BU (Brilliant Out of Circulation) Quality — Grade: MS-64 CHOICE +
Description of the room
This 1993 25-cent coin is a remarkably well-preserved example. Following the flurry of provincial coins in 1992, the return of the Caribou design in 1993 was marked by high-quality production in pure nickel. The MS-64 Choice+ grade guarantees a coin that has never circulated, selected for its intense "cartwheel" luster and exceptionally pure fields, almost entirely free of the usual bag marks.
The Obverse (Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II)
The obverse features the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Dora de Pédery-Hunt. In Choice+ quality, the satin finish of the portrait contrasts beautifully with the glossy fields, which present no major visual distractions.
The Reverse
Emanuel Hahn's classic Caribou design is rendered here with surgical precision. The details of the antlers, fur, and eye are perfectly sharp. The date "1993" stands out with absolute clarity, attesting to a vigorous strike.
