Comment
Canada initially minted 2023 coins with a transitional effigy of Queen Elizabeth II while a new effigy of Charles III is prepared (or else if a new law is voted).This coin is only found in toe 2023 Fine Silver Proof Set - Kathleen "Kit" Coleman: Pioneer Journalist.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that showcases a beaver, which is a well-known symbol of Canada, on the reverse side. This design was created by Canadian artist, Emily S. Damstra, and it's the first time a beaver has been featured on a Canadian coin. The coin's obverse side features the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Susanna Blunt. This coin is a special edition, non-circulating coin, made of 99.99% silver, and it weighs 5.4 grams. It's a collector's item and a great addition to any coin collection.
