Canadian 5-Cent Coin 2010 - Beaver Design | Royal Canadian Mint #189050 (License: Personal Use)

This 2010 Canadian 5-cent coin, commonly called a nickel, features the long-standing beaver design by G.E. Kruger-Gray, first introduced in 1937. The reverse shows a beaver on a log with two maple leaves above and the inscriptions “5 CENTS” and “CANADA 2010” below; the obverse (not shown) bears Queen Elizabeth II’s effigy. Struck in steel with a nickel plating, it reflects Canada’s natural symbolism and minting tradition.
