1900 Canada 25 Cents Silver Quarter – Queen Victoria – Large Crown – VF Condition – .925 Silver
The 1900 Canada 25 Cents Silver Quarter features the classic Victorian Large Crown design, struck in sterling silver (.925) during the final years of Queen Victoria’s reign. This historic Dominion of Canada silver issue showcases the young portrait of Queen Victoria on the obverse with the Latin legend VICTORIA DEI GRATIA REGINA CANADA.
The reverse displays the crowned denomination within a detailed maple leaf wreath — one of the most recognizable early Canadian coin designs.
This example shows moderate circulation wear with strong remaining detail in the wreath and portrait, placing it in approximately Very Fine (VF) condition. The date and legends remain bold and well defined.
