2015 5-Cent Fine Silver Coin – Legacy of the Canadian Nickel: The Beaver
Throughout its history, each of the nickel’s transformations provides a glimpse of a young nationthat was seeking to define itself, and a Mint that would quickly come into its own. This Legacy of the Canadian Nickel series is a retrospective look at the history of 5-cent coins minted by the Royal Canadian Mint; it continues with the iconic beaver design that has graced the nickel’s reverse since 1937.
SPECIAL FEATURES

The Beaver design is the sixth and final coin in the Legacy of the Canadian Nickel series, which revisits previous 5-cent coin designs that were produced by the Royal Canadian Mint throughout its history.

This proof coin is more than double its original size; this offers a magnified view of the detailed engraving, as well as the new sculpting and finishes that bring added depth to this faithful replica.
-
This proof coin is 99.99% pure silver, with selective gold plating.
-
A great gift for collectors of Canadiana, history-themed and circulation coins.
DESIGN
Finely detailed engraving faithfully recreates the reverse image that was first introduced in 1937, while multiple finishes and selective gold plating bring added definition to G. E. Kruger-Gray’s well-known design. With a chewed log lying by its side (at left), a beaver perches atop a rock-studded mound that rises up from the rippled surface of the water below. Above the beaver, the engraved face value “5 CENTS” is framed on both sides by a maple leaf; Kruger-Gray’s initials are engraved next to the mound while below it is the word “CANADA” and the year “2015”. The coin’s reverse image is trimmed with a repetitive dotted engraving. The obverse features the effigy by Susanna Blunt of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, who was the reigning monarch at the time of this coin’s first issue.
