Design: Your coin was designed by Canadian artist Pierre Leduc and features a detailed portrait of a beaver. Viewed in profile from its right side, the beaver's face fills the central field. The animal's distinctive small ears, eyes, and nose-all adapted for underwater living-rise above the water in which the beaver is partially immersed.

The animal's mat of thick, well-groomed fur and whiskers are rendered in fine detail. Its clawed forepaws limberly clutch a small branch from a tree, which the beaver eagerly chews for sustenance.

Framing the reverse imageis an outer band featuring the word "CANADA, " the date "2013, " and the facevalue of "5 DOLLARS, " as well as a small stylized beaver paw print symbol. Packaging: Each coin is encapsulated and presented in a maroon clamshell case lined with flock and protected by a customized beauty box.
