Comment

A beaver, a lake, maple leaves… iconic scenes like this 1937 design have informed Canada's self-image for decades. Here, though, the beaver from Canada's 5-cent circulation coin takes on a life of its own. Designed within the shape of its own silhouette—rather than a traditional circular coin shape—this collectible has been carefully crafted for consistent weight without altering the shape, detail or proportions of the original subject.

Did you know…

Prior to 1922, the 5-cent piece was a sterling silver coin of very small size—smaller than the present-day dime—giving it the nickname "fish scale." In 1922, the composition switched to pure nickel, lending the coin its new moniker, the "nickel."
Between 1942 and 1963, Canadian nickels had 12 sides.

Packaging:
