2025 5-Cent Fine Silver Coin - Multilayered Beaver

The Coin Company is proud to present 2025 5-Cent Fine Silver Coin - Multilayered Beaver by the Royal Canadian Mint.

On the 50th anniversary of Castor canadensis becoming an official symbol of Canada, the iconic beaver from G.E. Kruger Gray’s five-cent coin design has been given its own space to shine on this 99.99% pure silver coin, which features layers of engraving – not just on the coin’s surface, but on its interior, too. This is made possible by Multilayered Engraving, an innovative minting technique pioneered by the Royal Canadian Mint’s engineers and previewed in early 2020 (From the R&D Lab: Multilayered Polar Bear). Using special dies, we’re able to engrave behind the reverse’s top plate, which cuts away to present a more multidimensional rendering of this classic coin design featuring a cherished Canadian emblem.

Canada’s beaver-themed five-cent coin is reimagined as a multilayered coin! By separating the art into individual layers of engraving, this multidimensional approach brings renewed appreciation for both the coin design and the emblematic beaver.

KEY FEATURES:

• Pioneered by the Royal Canadian Mint’s R&D researchers, Multilayered Engraving unlocks additional design space by engraving behind the top plate and on the coin’s interior surface.
• The background offers a sweeping view of the landscape—it doesn’t just stop where the subject (the beaver) begins.
• One of several beaver-themed collectibles in 2025, which marks the 50th anniversary of the designation of Castor canadensis as an official symbol of Canadian sovereignty.
• Previous coins – 2020’s From R&D Lab: Multilayered Polar Bear prototype and 2021’s Multilayered Cougar coin – sold out almost instantly.

2025 5-Cent Fine Silver Coin - Multilayered Beaver has a limited mintage of 1,650 coins.
