About
Our O Canada! series continues with a special tribute to an animal ambassador.
Seen here, the beaver is synonymous with Canada's wilderness and the waterways that vein our landscape. It's a community-minded creature that is well adapted to its environment—qualities that exemplify the Canadian spirit.
This industrious builder also played a major role in our nation's past. In fact, no other creature has shaped our nation's history like the busy beaver, whose pelt fuelled the economic and social development of modern Canada.
For these reasons and more, the beaver occupies a place of honour in our hearts and on this coin.
- Six icons, six artists. Every coin in this series is designed by a different Canadian artist for a different take on some of the most famous images of Canada.
- A dose of Canadiana. This series is your dose of Canadiana in 2020 and it will add several iconic Canadian images to your collection.
- Subscribe to the complete series. Purchase each coin individually or sign up for a bi-monthly subscription that guarantees a complete 2020 O Canada! series. The first coin ships with an exclusive subscription-only case that lets you store and display all six coins as a complete series.
