About the 1966 Canada Elizabeth II, silver .800 25 Cents
Struck at the Royal Canadian Mint in Ottawa, the type introduced Arnold Machin's mature effigy of Elizabeth II, which shows the Queen wearing a tiara and replaced the youthful laureate portrait by Mary Gillick. This more regal likeness gave Canadian coinage a modern look that matched the Queen's image on other Commonwealth issues. The reverse keeps Emanuel Hahn's celebrated caribou head, a design rooted in the reign of George VI that remains one of the most recognizable emblems of Canadian numismatics. Its pairing of a new royal portrait with an enduring national symbol makes it an essential piece for anyone assembling a complete type set of Canadian decimal coinage or tracing the evolution of the monarch's image on the nation's coins.
