It became a primary motivator for the European explorers of the 17th century to forego their search for a passage to Asia and to focus instead on the natural resources offered by the North American continent. With fur at its zenith in European fashions, the profits from beaver pelt were enough to feed settlement of the new continent by England and France. Each coin is engraved in exquisite detail to celebrate one of Canadas most important national icons. This coin is a great gift and collectible to celebrate Canadas natural wonders, Canadian fauna, and the countrys unique iconography.

All of the coins offered in this listing are unsearched. Many coin dealers search all coins when they are received from the Mint. They “cherry-pick” the best coins. Then submit them to be graded, certified, and slabbed by PCGS, NGC, ANACS, etc. When a dealer searches coins, those that they sell in original Mint packaging are only lesser quality coins. Photos: When a listing offers multiples of the same coin, one coin is picked at random and photographed. Since all coins offered in that listing are essentially identical, the coin photographed is representative of all coins offered. Surface areas that appear black on some proof coin photos are actually highly polished, mirror-bright metal reflecting the color of the camera. We often include proof coin photos with the coin slightly tilted to better depict the mirror bright surfaces. However, tilting the coin may resulting one side being slightly out of focus. Whenever possible, we use actual photos of our coins, rather than just stock artwork from the Mint. We frequently update and upgrade the photos that appear with our listings, using improved cameras and lenses and better lighting. We will honor your requests for additional photos as quickly as our schedule permits. The item “Canada 2014 $50 Swimming Beaver 5 Troy Oz.
