There has been an image of a caribou, representing the large caribou herds in Northern Canada, on the reverse side of most Canadian 25 cent coins struck since 1937. There have been many commemorative Canadian 25 cent coins issued for special occasions that have other images, such as the Olympic rings, replacing the caribou.
The caribou has been an important animal in Candian history, as a source of food and leather.
By analogy, think of the US nickel issued from 1913 to 1938 which featured the image of a plains buffalo on its reverse side.
Yes.

The standard Canadian quarter has a picture of a caribou, as well as a picture of a human (Queen Elizabeth).
Well, honey, the Canadian quarter actually features a caribou, not an elk. Both are majestic creatures with impressive antlers, but if you want to impress your friends with your coin knowledge, make sure to get your facts straight!
The moose was added to the Canadian quarter in 2001 as part of the new series of circulating coins released by the Royal Canadian Mint. The design featuring the moose was selected through a national competition.
No, the Canadian quarter (25 cent coin) has a caribou on the back, not an elk.
just because some people back then chose that
In good condition, I've seen 1949 quarters sell as high as $9.99.
1965 Canadian quarters have a caribou on the reverse, so your question is somewhat unanswerable.
