| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central device depicts a de Havilland DHC-2 Beaver float plane rendered in high relief, shown in a three-quarter frontal view as it descends toward a water landing, with its floats clearly visible beneath the fuselage. The aircraft's detailed engine cowling, propeller, wing struts, and tail assembly are meticulously engraved, conveying a strong sense of motion and mechanical precision. The legend CANADA arcs across the upper field, while the purity inscription FINE GOLD 9999 1/25 OZ OR PUR curves along the lower periphery of the coin. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The de Havilland DHC-2 Beaver earned its reputation in the bush country of northern Canada during the late 1940s and 1950s, where its short takeoff capability and rugged airframe made it the default workhorse of remote communities with no road access. The Royal Canadian Mint has repeatedly returned to the aircraft as a subject for collector issues, and this fractional gold piece is among the smaller-format strikes in that ongoing series.
De Havilland Canada delivered the first production Beaver in 1947. The U.S. Army was eventually its largest single customer — an irony not lost on Canadian aviation historians.
