Description:
This is a 25-cent coin issued by Canada in 1967 as part of the country's centennial celebrations. The coin features a caribou on one side, which is a standard design for regular Canadian quarters, but the centennial version often showcases a unique commemorative design (the 1967 version, specifically, features a howling lynx rather than the regular caribou; this example may be worn, making the lynx less distinct). The coin is likely composed of 80% silver and 20% copper if it was minted in the first half of 1967, or 50% silver/50% copper if later in the year. This collectible coin marks Canada's 100th anniversary as a confederation.
