5 Dollars - Elizabeth II Beaver

The beaver motif on Canadian bullion coinage traces directly to G.E. Kruger Gray's 1937 design, commissioned as part of a broader redenomination of Canadian coinage following George VI's accession. That original five-cent design was never intended for gold — its migration to the bullion program decades later was purely a marketing decision by the Royal Canadian Mint as it expanded its fractional gold offerings in the early 2010s. The .9999 fineness places it among the purest gold issues in the Mint's catalog, a standard achieved only after significant refining upgrades in the late twentieth century.
