Struck in premium proof finish with a mirrored background, this beautiful silver coin features an entire family of beavers in their natural habitat. Engraved in exquisite detail to celebrate one of Canada’s most important national icons. Designed by Canadian artist Pierre Leduc, the coin features a portrait of a beaver mother and two kits. The mother is viewed from behind with the right side of her body set in profile, gazing at her two small kits nestled in the curve of their mother’s tail and body. The adult’s iconic leathery tail is fully visible, its scale-like surface rendered in textured detail. In the background, the beavers’ home pond with its twig structure. In the far distance, the shoreline is dotted with leafy deciduous trees, which are preferred by the beaver. Framing the reverse image is an outer band featuring the word “CANADA, ” the date “2013, ” and the face value of “25 DOLLARS, ” as well as a small stylized beaver paw print symbol. Each coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded maroon clamshell case lined with black flock and protected by a customized “beauty box”. Check out my other items.
