1973 Canada Large Bust 25-cents AU-UNC (AU-55)
The reverse of the 1973 25-cent commemorates the centennial of the founding of the North West Mounted Police, which later became the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. A new obverse was produced, with a smaller, more detailed portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, and fewer rim beads placed further from the rim for this commemorative issue. However, a small quantity believed to not exceed 10,000 were struck with the 1972 obverse, creating two varieties for the year. This special variety is known as the Large Bust. A large bust can be easily distinguised by the placement of the beads - a large bust's beads are very close to the rim, whereas the small bust has a distinctive space between the beads and the rim.
