Ready for another sexy piece from my collection?

This one comes from Canada and is amongst my favorite standard circulation coins from said country.

A Canadian 25 cents minted in 1968:

Much like my other Canadian pieces, this is a plain yet beautiful coin.

On the one side we have a MILF queen Elizabeth from when she was 39 years old and in Latin the inscription "ELIZABETH II D · G · REGINA" for "Elizabeth II Queen by the Grace of God"

On the other we have a reindeer, the face value, the inscription "CANADA" and the minting date. Reindeers are a common sight in Canada so I guess it makes sense to have them featured in one of their coins. I love animals so naturally I have a special spot in my stack for animal themed coins! 🥰

The edge of the coin is pretty basic too

Silver wise, this coin is just 0.500 purity, with a weight of 5.05 g, so about 2.5 g of silver. Today's spot price is 0.61$ per g so this coin is worth today 1.5$. Not bad for a 25 cents coin 🤣

Fun fact: Interestingly, Canadian Quarters in 1968 were issued both in silver and nickel. Determining the good ones is easy. Just use a magnet. The silver coins like mine are non magnetic. Easy!

The coin has about the same size with a regular euro coin:

As always, I will conclude the post with some extra info from numista in case you are interested in the finer details:

Stack on!
