Emanuel Hahn’s caribou graces the fourth Tribute: W Mint Mark coin.
More than any other Canadian denomination, the 25-cent coin has served as a canvas for Canadian history, having featured a number of designs that preserve the spirit of our national celebrations and commemorations. The circulation piece’s commemorative history includes notable firsts, but it is Emanuel Hahn’s caribou portrait—re-created here in 99.99% pure silver with a tailored specimen finish—that has left an indelible mark on our coinage, and it continues to resonate with Canadians and collectors worldwide.
Coin #4 in this “minted in Winnipeg” series.

LA MARQUE D'ATELIER « W »
Coin #4 of a six-part series of 1 oz. 99.99% pure silver coins—a rarity for the Winnipeg Mint, which typically focuses its efforts on circulation coins rather than numismatic ones, and that’s why the “W” mint mark is so unique.
UNE FINITION SPÉCIMEN SUR-MESURE
There’s a satin sheen to the 25-cent coin’s reverse design, and the field’s textured appearance is the result of angled lines inspired by the Winnipeg Mint’s pyramid‑shaped building.
NEW OBVERSE
Your coin’s obverse features the new effigy of His Majesty King Charles III.
LE SAVIEZ-VOUS ?
Emanuel Hahn’s caribou has been a fixture on the 25-cent coin since 1937, but a few years prior, Hahn had suggested putting a caribou on a silver dollar. As part of an effort to modernize Canada’s coins, Hahn’s concept was re-visited in 1936 but it was intended for the 5-cent coin (as seen in the 2018 Royal Canadian Mint Coin Lore: The Coins That Never Were three-coin set). After several revisions, the design was ultimately selected to appear on the 25-cent piece.
A numismatic tribute to Canada’s 25-cent circulation piece, this all-silver coin’s reverse features Emanuel Hahn’s caribou design, along with the “W” (Winnipeg) mint mark denoting where this coin was struck. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.
STRUCK IN WINNIPEG: CANADA'S CARIBOU QUARTER
Over 90 different designs have graced the 25-cent coin’s reverse since 1937—the year Emanuel Hahn’s caribou design was introduced—and most of those special-themed coins were struck in Winnipeg! In 1992, the 125th Anniversary of Confederation 25-cent pieces, which featured a different design for each province and territory (12 at the time), marked the first time a single coin featured multiple designs. And in 2004, our Winnipeg plant proudly produced the world’s first coloured circulation coin, its red poppy of Remembrance made possible by a high-speed, computer-controlled inkjet process.
À PROPOS DE LA MONNAIE ROYALE CANADIENNE
The Royal Canadian Mint is known as one of the most reputable mints in the world. The Ottawa Branch of the Royal Mint opened in 1908 and was renamed The Royal Canadian Mint in 1931 when control was transferred to the Canadian government. Their high standards for excellence and quality allowed them to be the first refinery to manufacture 9999 fine gold bullion coins in 1982, as well as the first to reach 99999 fine gold purity in 1998.
