Reindeer: Emblems on Coins and Stamps
This page is part of a section concerning Reindeer.
Important please note: The following section of articles concerning reindeer is for interest only. I do not condone the domestication of reindeer under any circumstances, particularly the slaughter of reindeer for meat. References to reindeer husbandry, the traditional reindeer herding and their use as meat, clothing transport and similar issues are of course included here as part of the information concerning reindeer. I and many others of a similar persuasion would like to see the exploitation of reindeer for meat, skins, entertainment and as other resources and uses consigned to history forever with a future where reindeer and other domesticated animals are left to live out the course of their lives unmolested. In short this website supports the abolition of the exploitation of all animals in all circumstances. Please see: Animal Rights

Canadian quarter/ fifty cent piece
Reverse side of a Canadian Quarter features a reindeer deer/caribou.
In 1937 artist Emanuel Hahn, the celebrated Canadian sculptor and coin designer, created the image of a caribou that replaced the maple boughs, it was introduced as part of an overhaul of Canadian circulating coin designs and was a way to modernize Canada's coinage and make it more emblematic of the nation.
The design has remained the same since its creation 73 years ago. With the exception of a few special edition coin years, the caribou is the image that generally appears on the Canadian quarter. The design is of a bust of a Caribou with the legend of “CANADA” and the date on the perimeter, and the denomination located between the antlers.
Issues: 1937 to 1972, 1974 to 1991, 1993 to 1998, 2001 to the present
