1975 – 25 Cents Quarter Canada

The 1975 Canadian 25 cents quarter features a design by Arnold Machin on the obverse, depicting a bust of Queen Elizabeth II wearing a tiara with the inscription “ELIZABETH II D – G – REGINA”. The reverse, designed by Emanuel Hahn, showcases a left-facing image of a caribou head with the denomination “25 CENTS” positioned between the antlers, flanked by the words “CANADA” on the left and the year “1975” on the right. The coin is made of 99.9% nickel, weighs approximately 5.07 grams, and has a diameter of 23.88 mm with a reeded edge. This quarter is emblematic of Canadian heritage, symbolizing the country’s connection to the monarchy and the wildlife iconic to Canada’s northern landscape. It had a large mintage of over 252 million coins and is magnetic due to its nickel composition.
