1914 Canada 25 Cents George V Silver Coin
This 1914 Canada 25 Cents silver coin was issued during the reign of King George V, a period when Canada was deepening its national identity while remaining closely tied to the British Empire. The obverse features the crowned portrait of George V with the Latin legend “GEORGIVS V DEI GRA: REX ET IND: IMP.,” while the reverse displays the denomination “25 CENTS CANADA 1914” encircled by a wreath of maple leaves — Canada’s national emblem. Struck in durable .925 fine sterling silver at the Royal Canadian Mint, these quarters circulated widely as everyday currency in the years leading up to World War I. As part of the early George V series that continued Canada’s tradition of high-quality silver coinage, this circulated example offers collectors a tangible connection to early 20th-century Canadian history and an affordable piece of Empire-era silver with strong national symbolism.
