The second coin in the Royal Canadian Mint's exciting new O Canada series focusing on iconic Canadian images, this beautiful coin celebrates the rich history and symbolism associated with the Canadian beaver.
This 10-Dollar coin is certified to be 99.99% fine silver with a diameter of 34 millimeters and a metal weight 15.87 grams. The reverse design by Canadian artist Pierre Leduc features a portrait of a beaver felling a birch tree. The beaver, viewed from the front with its head turned toward the right side of the coin, rises from the hard work of chopping at the birch trunk with its prominent incisors. Its two clawed forepaws and webbed hind paws are visible, and its tail is partially visible as it counterbalances the beaver's weight from behind. The birch trunk, sufficiently chopped, has just begun the process of falling, the woodchips resulting from the beaver's industrious task scattered at the nearly felled tree's base.
