2014 Canada $20 Baby Animals - The Beaver (#1) Fine Silver (No Tax)

2014 Canada $20 Baby Animals - The Beaver (#1) Fine Silver (No Tax)

This eye-catching proof coin with colour - the first in the Royal Canadian Mint's new baby animal series - celebrates Canada's young wildlife and features a beaver kit with its mother in a natural setting.

The reverse image by Canadian artist Glen Loates depicts an industrious young beaver and its mother amidst the grasses and leaves along the riverbank. Here, the kit is shown in three-quarter profile (facing left) as it stands poised at the river's edge, its flat tail partially submerged with ripples surrounding it showing ever so slight movement. The beaver's equally famous teeth are on full display as the kit gnaws on a small branch. Its brown-coloured fur stands in contrast to the bright green-coloured leaves of a balsam poplar tree (Populus balsamifera) - a favourite species for beavers - which is gripped by the kit's mother in the background.
