Comment
Date of issue: 01 JUL 2008Interesting 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 unusual design choice adds to the coin's appeal and sets it apart from other wildlife-themed coins.
