Comment
There were three obverse sides: the first two have very high relief, the 2nd doesn't have the words "ET IND: IMP:", and the 3rd was made by Thomas Shingles to show just how detailed a coin can be.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1937-1947 Canadian Silver 25 Cents coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in Canada. The coin was introduced in 1937, just as Canada was recovering from the Great Depression, and it was minted until 1947, when Canada was in the midst of its post-World War II economic boom. Despite the economic challenges of the time, the coin remained a popular denomination and was widely used in everyday transactions.
