Kruger-Gray Packaging: Maroon clamshell with black beauty box. Pure silver version of the 5-cent piece features British artist G. Kruger-Gray’s iconic beaver design. With only a few notable exceptions, the image has appeared continuously on Canadian “nickels” since 1937. Silver and gold, together on one coin. New for 2019: Reverse gold plating adds a warm-toned gleam that creates a beautiful contrast next to the silver shine of the engraved relief.
