1930 – 25 Cents Quarter Canada

The 1930 Canadian 25 cents silver coin, minted by the Royal Canadian Mint, features an obverse with the bust of King George V surrounded by the inscription “GEORGIVS V DEI GRA : REX ET IND : IMP :”, reflecting the monarch’s reign during that era. The reverse displays a crowned maple leaf on two boughs tied with a ribbon, symbolizing Canada’s identity and resilience. Composed of 80% silver and 20% copper, the coin weighs 5.83 grams with a diameter of 23.62 mm, has a reeded edge, and a medal alignment axis.

This coin is valued both as a collector’s item and for its silver content.
