2002 Canada: 25 Cents Canada Day
BU (Brilliant Out of Circulation) Quality — Grade: MS-62
Description of the room
Issued to celebrate Canada Day in 2002, this commemorative coin features a dynamic and festive reverse design. Unlike the Golden Jubilee issue of the same year, it uses the contemporary effigy of the Queen. Classified MS-62 , this coin is strictly uncirculated, retaining its original mint luster and the crispness of its thematic details.
The Obverse (Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II - Dora de Pédery-Hunt)
The obverse features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Dora de Pédery-Hunt . The date "2002" and the mint mark "P" (indicating plated steel) are present to the left of the bust. The luster is bright and covers the entire field.
The Reverse (Design Canada Day)
The reverse features an artistic composition by Judith Chartier depicting children holding a Canadian flag in front of a stylized maple leaf, symbolizing the future and patriotism. In MS-62 grade, the reliefs are intact and the glossy finish highlights the complexity of the design.
