The Canadian 1920 25 Cent coin, designed by George W. de Saulles, featured King George V on the obverse and a caribou on the reverse. Struck in 80% silver, it was part of Canada’s post-World War I recovery, reflecting the country’s economic challenges after the war. In 1920, the Canadian economy was struggling with inflation and reconstruction efforts, and the 25 Cent became essential for daily trade.
Politically, the Canadian 1920 25 Cent coin marked Canada’s increasing autonomy within the British Empire. De Saulles’ design symbolized national pride and unity, while the silver metal reflected the country’s reliance on precious metals for stable currency. The coin was an important part of Canada’s economic landscape during the interwar period.
