This coin celebrates the beaver, one of Canadas most beloved and iconic animals. This 50-dollar coin is 99.99% pure silver, with a metal weight of 5 ounces and a diameter of 65 millimetres. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt. The image by Canadian artist Emily Damstra occupies the entirety of the reverse field. It features a portrait of a beaver in mid-dive, a gnawed portion of a tree gripped firmly by the beavers chisel-shaped incisors. The beavers elongated body is at the forefront, stretching from one edge to the other, as it navigates the familiar confines of its pond. Acting as a natural rudder, its iconic, leathery tail helps the beaver steady itself in the water. Its hind feet propel it towards the bottom of the pond, where it will add the long, leafy branch to its underwater food reserves in preparation for the oncoming winter. The word’CANADA’ is engraved along the bottom left edge of the coin, next to the face value of’50 DOLLARS’ and the date’2014. This finely detailed coin is a celebration of one of Canadas most beloved national animals in its natural habitat.
