| Reverse description | The full Arms of Canada rendered in high-relief engraving at the centre of the field, featuring a quartered shield supported by a lion rampant to the left and a unicorn to the right, surmounted by a crowned lion atop a helm and mantling. The shield's quarters display the three golden lions of England, the red lion of Scotland, the Irish harp, and the French fleurs-de-lis, with a sprig of three maple leaves in base. Flanking the supporters are a Union flag and a fleur-de-lis flag, while a ribbon wreath of English roses, Scottish thistles, French fleurs-de-lis, and Irish shamrocks adorns the base. The legend 'CANADA 2016' arcs above and the denomination '25 DOLLARS' is inscribed below in bold raised lettering. |

| Additional information |
The 2016 date places this issue within the RCM's sustained push into the fine silver collector market, where .9999 purity became a marketing differentiator against the long-established .999 standard. The Royal Canadian Mint was among the first sovereign mints to adopt four-nines silver at scale for numismatic issues, a shift that began in earnest around 2014.
