The Canada 25 Cents 1941, graded MS65 by PCGS, represents a pristine example of Canadian coinage from the early 1940s, a period marked by significant historical events and changes in the global landscape.
Featuring the left-facing effigy of King George VI on the obverse, the coin bears a portrait designed by T. H. Paget.

The reverse of the coin showcases a crowned maple leaf flanked by the facial value "25 CENTS" and the year of mintage "1941." This iconic design, created by engraver George Kruger Gray, has become synonymous with Canadian numismatics and remains a beloved symbol of the nation's identity.
Encapsulated in a protective holder by PCGS, the Canada 25 Cents 1941 is authenticated and graded by one of the most reputable third-party grading services in the numismatic industry. This encapsulation ensures the coin's authenticity and graded condition, safeguarding it from potential damage and preserving its pristine state for future generations of collectors.
