The 1970 Canadian 25-cent quarter is a business strike coin composed entirely of nickel, weighing 5.07 grams, with a diameter of 23.88 mm and a reeded edge. It features the obverse design of Queen Elizabeth II wearing a tiara, created by Arnold Machin, and the reverse depicts a caribou head, designed by Emanuel Hahn. The coin is magnetic due to its nickel composition and was minted by the Royal Canadian Mint with a total circulation mintage of 10,302,010. The obverse bears the legend “ELIZABETH II D – G – REGINA,” while the reverse reads “CANADA 25 CENTS 1970.” This quarter follows the traditional medal alignment and was produced in circulation, uncirculated, and specimen finishes. It is a typical example of Canadian quarters from that era, combining traditional themes with lasting nickel durability.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
