Interesting fact

The European Beaver coin, minted in 2008, is a unique and interesting collector's item. One fascinating fact about this coin is that it features a rare example of a beaver depicted in a standing position, rather than the more common depiction of a beaver in a seated or swimming position. This standing beaver design adds to the coin's exclusivity and makes it a standout among other wildlife-themed coins.
