Description
This 2015 $20 fine silver coin presents a classic view of a Canadian beaver in its natural environment. Mintage is limited to just 7,500 coins, making this a scarce collectible as well as an attractive work of art. HST/GST exempt.
The Design:
Enhanced with selective colouring which brings the beaver to life. The water shimmers with a translucent blue, while the beaver’s realistic brown fur can be seen in intricate detail. 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.
