Looking at this piece 25 Cents - Elizabeth II (Cindy Klassen; colourized) and the photo in the comments...
I'm wondering if different backgrounds were really produced by the Royal Canadian Mint or if they are just fakes?

Probably the Candian Mint trying different methods of printing the colour. Can't see why such a low value coin would be faked.
It looks like poor quality control to me. screen painting ain't rocket science, but it is a fairly new art that mints have undertaken.
I imagine every one is slightly different.

Maybe the canvas background was used on the 3 million coins that were put into circulation while the smooth background was used for those in uncirculated sets.

If I'm not mistaken, we were the 1st country to introduce colourized, circulating coins.

At one time I had a collection of non-silver 25 cents and you could definitely see the improvements over time. Quality control had little to do with it. Even up until about 2012 / 13, this was the best they could do with existing technology.

In 2015 they circulated this beauty https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces73630.html

Looked like an unfurled flag in a gentle breeze, not some painted flat colours.

They are genuine coins, I bought my set from the RCM
