Comment
51,494 coins in silver .925, presumably all dated 1919, were melted in 1920.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1912-1919 Canadian Silver 25 Cents coin is that it was minted during a time when the Canadian government was transitioning from a silver-based currency to a nickel-based currency. This coin was one of the last silver coins minted before the changeover, making it a unique piece of Canadian numismatic history.
