The famously flat, almost paddle-like tail is partially submerged beneath the blue lake water as the beaver stands on the course shoreline upon its webbed hind paws. At the river’s edge, the beaver is busily using its razor-sharp incisors to cut down a tree.  In the background, the many gnawed tree stumps that dot the engraved landscape serve as evidence of the beaver’s on-going activity. Known for its persistence, resourcefulness and hard work, the beaver has endeared itself to Canadians and become one of our cherished national symbols.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RCM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40451118071947,"sku":"130637","price":139.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0333\/7460\/1355\/products\/623932059955.jpg?v=1656078354"},{"product_id":"2015-5c-big-coin-beaver","title":"2015 5c Big Coin Series: Beaver - 5 oz.

The top half of the image shows the beaver swimming across a lake, its head and tail raised above the water. Its tail sprays water as the beaver raises it in order to slap the lake surface and warn others of a nearby wolf. The wolf, on the left side of the image, stands with its forepaws on a boulder that juts out into the water, its gaze fixed on the fleeing beaver. The weedy shoreline curves gracefully to the right side of the coin. In the distant background, tall conifers reach for the sky. The bottom half of the image shows the beaver from under the water, as though the scene were captured through a half-submerged lens. Here we see the beaver’s dextrous forepaws and flipper-like hind feet in action, paddling the animal quickly away from the nearby predator. Show-stopping detail and the use of multiple finishes bring the engraving to life, lending buoyancy to the swimming beaver and depth to the scene that surrounds it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"RCM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40451673751691,"sku":"142193","price":69.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0333\/7460\/1355\/products\/623932062368.jpg?v=1656444178"},{"product_id":"2015-20-largemouth-bass","title":"2015 $20 North American Sportfish:  Largemouth Bass - Pure Silver Coin","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThis 2015 classic proof finish $20 fine silver coin features one of Canada’s favourite sportfish – the largemouth bass. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e This coin includes special edge lettering that lists the coin's metal weight and purity: \"9999 Fine Silver 1 oz 9999 Argent pur 1 oz\".   \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eMintage is limited to 6,500 coins.
