1996 25 cents BU (MS-63) - CHOICE

1996 Canada: 25 Cents Caribou

BU (Brilliant Out of Circulation) Quality — Grade: MS-63 CHOICE

Description of the room

This 1996 25-cent coin is a Brilliant Uncirculated example selected for its superior quality. Struck in pure nickel, it displays the characteristic "white" metallic luster of issues from this decade before the widespread adoption of plated metals. The MS-63 Choice grade guarantees a coin that has never been in circulation, retaining full rotating luster and intact relief. It is an ideal choice for collectors seeking to maintain consistent quality in their annual set.

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 mint luster flows seamlessly across the fields, highlighting the crown and the details of the portrait.

The Reverse

Emanuel Hahn's famous Caribou is depicted with great precision. The details of the antlers, eye, and neck texture are perfectly defined. The date "1996" is clearly engraved to the right of the animal.
