Stunning Bobcat design by Alex Colville
Both of this coin's designs come from the original piece that it commemorates. Arnold Machin's portrait of Queen Elizabeth II is on the obverse. The image of the then-youthful monarch shows her wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland that she received from her grandmother.
Alex Colville's reverse image features a bobcat in motion. The coin's face value, "25 CENTS," is inscribed at the top, while "CANADA" and its 150th anniversary years, "1867-2017," are inscribed at the bottom.
Perfect Proof 70 with exclusive Canada label
This coin earned a grade of Proof 70, the highest available, from the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation. That grade means that the coin does not have even a single flaw that can be seen under 5x magnification. NGC provided that grade on a Canada label, which has the country's flag and its most famous landmark, Niagara Falls.
