Kruger-Gray (reverse), Susanna Blunt (obverse). This 5-ounce pure silver 5-cent coin features British artist G. Kruger-Gray's iconic beaver design, first issued in 1937. This design has been used continuously on Canadian "nickels" with only a few notable exceptions. Part of the Royal Canadian Mint's exciting 6-coin series of 5-ounce pure silver versions of Canada's 5-cent, 10-cent, 25-cent, 50-cent, 1-dollar, and 2-dollar circulation coins.
Selective colour on the reverse of each coin makes this series particularly lovely and exceptionally unique. Drawing its inspiration from minting itself, this coin makes an exquisite gift, an inspiring introduction to collecting, or an important addition for any collector interested in Canadian subjects, Canadian and international circulation coinage, or minting history.
