| 背面描述 | Central denomination 25 CENTS in two lines, with the date below, all enclosed within a wreath of maple leaves tied at the base with a ribbon bow. A St. Edward's Crown surmounts the wreath at the top. The mint mark H, denoting the Heaton Mint of Birmingham, appears in the exergue below the ribbon tie. The design is framed by a beaded border, with the open field giving a clean, uncluttered appearance characteristic of Victorian-era Canadian coinage. |

Canada's first 25-cent piece was authorized under the Dominion coinage legislation of 1870, which consolidated the fractured currency systems of the newly confederated provinces into a single federal framework. Prior to this, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and the Province of Canada had each operated separate coinage arrangements — some tied to sterling, others to a decimal-Halifax hybrid that caused persistent commercial confusion.
The series ran through six monarchs' worth of Victorian reverses and saw production split between the Royal Mint in London and its Ottawa branch after 1908 — though for this type, all striking occurred in London. The 1875-H, struck at Heaton's Birmingham mint, is the key date, with mintage figures low enough that circulated examples dominate the surviving population almost entirely.
