2025 $50 Canadian Symbol: The Beaver Double Sided Extremely High Relief
Free Shipping
Product Overview
Innovation and advances in mintage technology have made it possible for the Royal Canadian Mint to issue this fine silver coin that uses ultra-high relief on both sides of the coin combined with selective gold plating. Struck in over 3.25 ounces of fine silver with a 50-mm diameter, this $50 coin captures a unique double perspective of Canada's beavers.
An official emblem of Canada since 1975, the beloved beaver is a natural ecosystem engineer, known for altering the environment to suit its needs. Though many of the beaver's busy building activities are obscured from our land-based view, its labours are front and centre on this coin, where the two-sided design welcomes you into the beaver's secret world by presenting different views of the same scene. Think of the coin as the water's surface, with one side (reverse) our view from above the water, and the other (obverse) a view from below. And on both sides, the perspective of the beaver family hard at work on their new home is engraved in extraordinarily high relief (EHR) and selectively plated with yellow gold.
The design includes an adult male and female, and their two kits building a lodge, while the obverse presents an underwater perspective of the same scene; on both sides, the beavers are engraved in EHR and plated with yellow gold. On the reverse, one of the kits (top left) swims alongside its mother, setting off gentle ripples across the surface of the water dotted with lily pads, as the female inserts another branch into the pile. The male is just entering the water from atop the lodge, his head and front legs visible on the obverse, which offers a better view of the submerged kit. The obverse also features a cameo effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.
