| Reverse description | A naturalistic beaver, the national symbol of Canada, is depicted in profile seated on a log in the central field, a design derived from the classic 1937 series by G.E. Kruger Gray. The legend CANADA arcs below the central device, while the denomination 5 CENTS appears above. Stylized maple leaves flank the design on either side, and the engraver's initials KG appear in the lower field, attributing the design to Kruger Gray. |

| Additional information |
Issued to mark fifty years of Elizabeth II's reign, this piece belongs to a coordinated RCM program that saw multiple denominations struck in sterling silver with a special effigy — Dora de Pédery-Hunt's portrait replaced by a crowned jubilee likeness approved specifically for 2002–2003 commemorative issues. The five-cent denomination is the smallest and least flashy of the set, which likely explains why it turns up less frequently in complete collections than its face value would suggest.
