Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2015 Canadian Silver Beaver 5-Cent Coin is that it features a unique combination of silver and gold plating. The coin is made of 99.99% silver, but selectively plated with 24-karat gold on certain design elements, such as the beaver's fur and the maple leaves. This creates a striking contrast between the silver and gold parts of the design, making the coin truly stand out.
