# 946 - Canadian Wildlife - Part 36

avatar

Today we will continue the series called "Canadian Wildlife".

The Royal Canadian Mint is known by its high quality work and the enormous number of commemorative coins issued each year. Among these commemoratives we find many, individual or in series, under the theme "wildlife".

Canada, with its vast lands and seas, is the home of a varied fauna and that will be showed in this series.

I will try to post land animals, sea animals and birds, in that order.

The thirty sixth is a gold 2013 CAD $5 "Beaver".

The gold "O Canada" set focuses on iconic Canadian animals to celebrate Canadian pride. A total of nine animals were minted in 2013-2014.

Each coin weights 3.13g with gold purity of 99.99% and Proof finish. This mintage was 3,673 units. The issue price was CAD $279.95.

The reverse design by Canadian artist Pierre Leduc presents the head of a beaver.

The North American beaver (Castor canadensis) is native to North America and introduced in South America (Patagonia) and Europe (primarily Finland and Karelia). The North American beaver is an official animal symbol of Canada and is the official state mammal of Oregon and New York.

A refreshing change from the old Run-of-the-mill Canadian nickel design we still have since 1937.

Thanks for sharing @ronavel
