General Description
This 1918 Canadian quarter is a George V sterling-silver issue struck at the Ottawa branch of the Royal Mint, with no mintmark. It is part of the 1912–1919 Canadian silver-quarter type and carries E. B. MacKennal’s George V portrait paired with W. H. J. Blakemore’s modified L. C. Wyon reverse design.
The documented mintage for 1918 is 4,175,649 coins. This World War I-era date has appeal in its era, recognizable George V portrait, and traditional sterling-silver composition.
The original standard is 5.83 grams of .925 silver, producing approximately 0.1734 troy ounce of actual silver weight. The coin therefore has a measurable silver component alongside its date-and-type collector significance.
For a world-coin collection, this is an identifiable early Canadian George V silver issue. For the silver buyer, its value proposition is grounded in original metal content and the precise historical coin shown in the Twenty-five cents / quarter dollar
