| Reverse description | Central device depicts a right-facing North American Beaver (Castor canadensis) seated on a log partially submerged in water, rendered in fine naturalistic detail. The denomination 5 CENTS appears in the lower field, flanked on each side by a stylized maple leaf. The country name CANADA is inscribed above the beaver, with the date and designer's initials K·G positioned in the lower exergual area. The overall composition reflects the enduring beaver motif introduced by G.E. Kruger-Gray in 1937. |
