2001 No. P 25 cents BU (MS-62)

2001 Canada: 25 Cents Caribou (Without P)

BU (Brilliant Out of Circulation) Quality — Grade: MS-62

Description of the room

This 2001 25-cent coin is the traditional version struck in pure nickel, recognizable by the absence of the mint mark "P" beneath the royal effigy. It represents the end of an era for Canadian currency, just before the complete transition to plated steel. Classified MS-62 , this coin is strictly uncirculated, displaying the rich, white luster characteristic of nickel, with its details intact.

The Obverse (Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II)

The obverse features the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Dora de Pédery-Hunt. The space beneath the bust is unmarked, confirming that this is the nickel version. The luster is bright and evenly covers the fields.

The Reverse

Emanuel Hahn's iconic Caribou motif is at the center of the coin. In MS-62 grade, the details of the antlers, eye, and hooves are perfectly defined. The finish is glossy and shows no signs of traffic wear.
