Description
THE COIN CAN BE SLIGHTLY OXIDIZED.
Composition : 92,5% silver, 7,5% copper, plated in 24-karat gold
Mintage : 20,000
A beaver unlike any other !
It's historic first for the Royal Canadian Mint ! This unique square coin was inspired by the trade tokens that came into use during the fur trade, the adventurous industry that drove much of Canada's development during the 17th and 18th centuries.
When trappers brought their furs to the trading postes, someting was needed to represent the value of the pelts. At first, everything from porcupine quills, ivory discs and bits of wood or bone were used - anything that the trapper and emrchant agreed upon.
As the industry became more sophisticated, trade tokens began to appear. As the two parties went through the furs,tokens would be placed on the counter. Once done, the trapper would use them to purchase goods from the store. Some trade tokens were square like this coin. Others featured the prize of the fur trade that alsoreigns as one of Canada's earliest forms of currency - the beaver !

| Je ne suis pas sur de ce que je devais mettre comme titre j’ai acheté cette pièce pour offrir en cadeau à mon mari à sa fête et il s’est avéré très satisfait et content car il n’avait jamais vu une tél pièce et il a l’intention comme elle belle de se faire un bijou avec cette pièce. | |
