1943 Canada 25 Cents George VI Silver Coin (Caribou)
This 1943 Canada 25 Cents silver coin was issued during the reign of King George VI in the midst of World War II, a time when Canada played a vital role in the Allied effort. The obverse features the portrait of George VI with the Latin legend “GEORGIVS VI D:G: REX ET IND: IMP.,” while the reverse displays the iconic caribou head design — introduced in 1937 as a distinctly Canadian symbol — with the denomination “25 CENTS” and date “1943.” Struck in .800 fine silver at the Royal Canadian Mint, these quarters circulated widely as everyday currency during the war years, serving both the domestic economy and the needs of Canadian forces abroad. As part of the George VI series that replaced the earlier maple leaf design with the powerful caribou motif, this circulated example offers collectors a tangible connection to Canada’s wartime history and an affordable piece of silver coinage with strong national symbolism from one of the most significant periods in the 20th century.
