2002 – 25 Cents Quarter Canada

The 2002 “P” Canadian 25-cent coin, minted by the Royal Canadian Mint, features a nickel composition with a weight of 4.4 grams, a diameter of 23.88 mm, and a thickness of 1.58 mm. The obverse shows a bust of Queen Elizabeth II wearing a circular diamond crown decorated with roses, shamrocks, and thistles, designed by Arnold Machin, with a “P” mint mark on the bottom indicating it is from the 2002 production. The reverse, designed by Emanuel Hahn, displays the head of a caribou with the inscriptions “CANADA,” “25 CENTS,” and the year “2002.” The coin has a reeded edge and a medal alignment, and the mintage for the circulation version was approximately 156 million pieces. It was produced in circulation, uncirculated, and specimen finishes, and is magnetic due to its nickel composition.
