2001-P 25 cents BU (MS-62)

2001-P Canada: 25 Cents Caribou

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

Description of the room

This 2001 25-cent coin is a key example of the Royal Canadian Mint's technological evolution. It bears the mint mark "P" beneath the royal effigy, confirming its multi-layered, plated steel composition. Classified MS-62 , this coin is strictly uncirculated. It exhibits a full and crisp luster, although some typical contact marks from the striking and bagging processes are present, without detracting from the overall beauty of the design.

The Obverse (Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II)

The obverse features the third effigy of Queen Elizabeth II (by Dora de Pédery-Hunt) with the letter 'P' clearly defined beneath the bust. The luster is vibrant and flows freely across the coin's fields.

The Reverse

Emanuel Hahn's classic Caribou design is showcased. In MS-62 grade, the details of the caribou's antlers and head are perfectly preserved. The color is a brilliant silvery white, characteristic of the new plating process of the time.
