Description
In 2025, Castor canadensis celebrates its 50th anniversary as an official symbol of Canadian sovereignty, though its connection to this land goes deeper: as a commodity, its fur made it an integral part of early Canadian history; and as a cultural icon, its likeness has appeared on everything from heraldic bearings to the first Canadian postage stamp. However, few depictions of the beaver are as iconic as George Edward Kruger Gray’s conception, seen here on this “minted in Winnipeg” coin that brings the popular Tribute: W Mint Mark series to a close. HST/GST Exempt.
The Design:
From the facility that produces all of Canada’s circulation coins. The Royal Canadian Mint’s Winnipeg facility rarely produces numismatic coins — that’s why this 99.99% pure silver coin, which features a tailored specimen finish and a “W” mint mark, is so unique!
