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

Reindeer featured Stamps

Postage stamps issued depicting reindeer.

Here are a few examples

The services of Newfoundland Regiment during world war 1 were commemorated in 1919 by the issue of a set of twelve stamps. The stamps have the phrase "The Tail of the Caribou" which originated with Lt. Col. Nangle, Roman Catholic Chaplain of the Royal Newfoundland Regiment. The badge of the Regiment consisted of the head of a caribou over a ribbon lettered Newfoundland. In keeping with their emblem, a design of a caribou had been selected to represent this particular issue.
