Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1920-1936 Canadian Silver 25 Cents coin is that it was minted during a time when the Canadian dollar was still pegged to the British pound, and as such, the coin's design and composition were heavily influenced by British coinage. In fact, the coin's obverse features an image of King George V, who was also the King of the United Kingdom at the time. This coin is a unique piece of numismatic history, as it reflects the cultural and economic ties between Canada and the UK during the early 20th century.
