1994 Canada: 25 Cents Caribou
BU (Brilliant Out of Circulation) Quality — Grade: MS-63 CHOICE
Description of the room
The 1994 25-cent coin continues the tradition of pure nickel coins, offering the bright white luster and durability so prized by numismatists. This particular example is graded MS-63 Choice , guaranteeing it has never been in circulation. It was specifically selected for its full cartwheel luster and cleaner surfaces than the average coin of that year.
The Obverse (Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II)
The obverse features the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Dora de Pédery-Hunt (third effigy). The relief is crisp and the original minting luster is clearly visible in the fields, surrounding the royal profile with a satin sheen.
The Reverse
It features Emanuel Hahn's famous Caribou design. The striking is vigorous, precisely revealing the details of the antlers, eye, and neck texture. The date "1994" is engraved with great clarity.
