1994 Canada: 25 Cents Caribou
BU (Brilliant Out of Circulation) Quality — Grade: MS-64 CHOICE +
Description of the room
This 1994 25-cent coin represents the pinnacle of pure nickel minting by the Royal Canadian Mint in the mid-1990s. The MS-64 Choice+ grade identifies a specimen that has been spared the usual handling marks, retaining a remarkably clear surface. Its original luster is bright and deep, offering the sought-after "white" visual appeal of modern Canadian coin collectors.
The Obverse (Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II)
The obverse features the third effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Dora de Pédery-Hunt. The portrait is finely detailed and the surrounding fields are exceptionally clean, displaying a brilliant uniformity and no visual distractions.
The Reverse
Emanuel Hahn's iconic Caribou design is rendered with absolute clarity. Every antler and coat texture is perfectly defined. The date "1994" is precisely struck, without any sign of wear or die weakness.
