| Obverse description | Bare-headed effigy of King George VI facing left, modelled by T. H. Paget. The king is depicted in a plain, unadorned portrait typical of the first George VI coinage series. The surrounding legend reads GEORGIVS VI D:G:REX ET IND:IMP: arranged along the outer border, with the initials HP (for sculptor Humphrey Paget) appearing in small characters near the bust truncation. A fine beaded border frames the design. |

| Reverse description | A left-facing caribou head in bold relief occupies the central field, a design emblematic of Canadian wildlife introduced for the 1937 coinage series. The denomination 25 CENTS is inscribed below the caribou, while the legend CANADA arcs along the upper border. The date 1937 appears at the lower portion of the design. The mintmark H, indicating striking at the Heaton Mint in Birmingham, appears discreetly in the field. A beaded border encircles the entire reverse. |
