Comments

The beaver is one of Canada's most beloved and emblematic animals, forever linked to the nation's earliest beginnings. Renowned for its perseverance, ingenuity and hard work, the beaver has won the affection of Canadians. Today, the Royal Canadian Mint dedicates a coin embellished with selective coloring to this admirably industrious animal.

The coin, adorned with a magnificent motif representing the emblematic beaver, is chased from an ounce of fine silver and enhanced with color.

Packaging
The coin is encapsulated and presented in a burgundy double-shell case adorned with the Royal Canadian Mint logo. The case comes with a black protective box.Automatically translated
