| Reverse description | The reverse reproduces Alex Colville's celebrated 1967 centennial design, depicting a stalking bobcat in full stride, rendered in high relief against a plain field. The big cat is shown in a low, prowling posture facing left, conveying natural dynamism and precision of detail. The denomination '25 CENTS' is inscribed along the upper legend, while 'CANADA 1967-2017' arcs along the lower periphery, commemorating the 50th anniversary of the original centennial issue. A beaded border frames the entire composition. |

| Additional information |
Canada's 2017 sesquicentennial program was one of the most ambitious commemorative coin initiatives in RCM history, producing dozens of distinct issues across multiple series simultaneously. This bobcat quarter belongs to that flood of releases — the sheer volume meant some designs reached collectors with minimal production delays while others were quietly retired mid-year as mintage allocations filled faster than projected.
The .9999 fine silver specification distinguishes it from the standard circulation strikes of the same nominal denomination.
