This gold-plated beauty commemorates the beaver, as depicted on the classic Canadian nickel or 5-cent piece, designed by G. Kruger Gray and in use since 1937! Engraved in exquisite relief which shows the individual hairs in the beaver's fur, the various finishes enhance the overall appearance by adding even more detail to the iconic image we've grown accustomed to seeing on the 5-cent circulation coin! It's not widely remembered today, but during the 1830s and'40s there was a fashion craze in Europe for beaver-fur hats.

This provided the livelihood for the fur-trapping mountain men. Fortunately, the fashion died out in time for the beaver to be saved, allowing it to continue to dam streams and create new habitat for many other creatures. When trappers would bring their furs to the trading posts, something was needed to represent the value of the pelts. At first, everything from porcupine quills, ivory discs and bits of wood or bone were used - anything that that the trapper and merchant agreed upon. As the industry became more sophisticated, trade tokens began to appear.

As the two parties went through the furs, tokens would be placed on the counter. Some trade tokens were square. Others featured the prize of the fur trade that also reigns as one of Canada's earliest forms of currency - the beaver! To this day, the beaver. Is featured on the Canadian 5 cents (nickel) coin!

Here's a coin with a ton of investment potential, to say nothing of cachet! It's huge (nearly 3 inches in diameter) and stuck in the purest silver. Refined anywhere in the world.

The numismatic circulating coin theme is extremely popular, too! Then there's that extremely low mintage limit - only 1,500!
