This group of Canadian quarters comprises coins with dates including 1954, 1958, 1960, and 1964. Each coin is struck in 80 per cent silver (.800 fineness). The obverse of each piece features the laureate portrait of Queen Elizabeth II with the legend ELIZABETH II DEI GRATIA REGINA. The reverse bears the caribou head design by Emanuel Hahn, accompanied by the inscriptions CANADA and 25 CENTS. These coins feature reeded edges and were produced by the Royal Canadian Mint. Condition: The coins exhibit circulated condition, generally appearing in fine to very fine grades. Visible wear is present on the high points of the relief, specifically affecting the Queen's hair and the caribou's coat. Surfaces display contact marks and minor scratches consistent with circulation. Dark toning and surface spotting are evident on some pieces, notably the 1958 and 1964 issues.
