2017 Canada $25 Timeless Icons - Piedfort Fine Silver (No Tax)

The beaver and the maple leaf are the defining images of a nation: one speaks of the past, when the fur trade helped shape a nation; the other predates the flag as an emblem of this land, its people, and our hope for the future. The Royal Canadian Mint reflects on a nation's 150-year journey - and beyond - through the fusion of two iconic symbols that continue to inspire admiration by proudly representing all that is Canada.
