1995 Canada: 25 Cents Caribou
BU (Brilliant Out of Circulation) Quality — Grade: MS-63 CHOICE
Description of the room
This 1995 25-cent coin is a fine example of Choice BU quality. Struck in pure nickel, it displays the deep white luster characteristic of Royal Canadian Mint issues from the mid-1990s. The MS-63 Choice grade indicates a coin that has never been in circulation, selected for its superior visual appeal. While slight contact marks are inherent to the manufacturing process, this example is distinguished by the cleanliness of its fields and the strength of its luster.
The Obverse (Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II)
The obverse features the third effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, created by Dora de Pédery-Hunt. The portrait is crisp and the original satin finish is perfectly preserved, providing an elegant contrast with the glossy fields.
The Reverse
It features Emanuel Hahn's famous Caribou design. The engraving is precise, revealing the fine details of the antlers and fur. The date "1995" is clearly defined, attesting to consistent quality of minting.
