2022 5-OUNCE FINE SILVER COIN
THE BIGGER PICTURE: 5-CENT COIN: THE BEAVER

2nd coin of the series The Bigger Picture.

A lone Castor canadensis sitting atop a rock—it’s a familiar image, but the second Bigger Picture offers a different take on G. E. Kruger-Gray’s iconic five-cent coin design. Pull back and see the bigger picture. The successor to the Royal Canadian Mint’s Big Coin series of 5 oz. 99.99% pure silver coins, The Bigger Picture zooms in on Canada’s classic circulation coin designs and zooms out to reveal a much bigger story. By re-imagining the five-cent’s “mascot” as a member of a busy beaver colony, the expanded scene highlights the species’ important role in Canada’s boreal forest, where its dams create wetland habitats for other species.

 A 5 oz. view of the five-cent’s beaver. G. E. Kruger-Gray’s beaver design first appeared on the five-cent coin 85 years ago; on this 5 oz. coin, it has been creatively re-imagined as a portion of a new, expanded story that puts a fresh spin on a collector favourite.
 Coin #2. This is the second coin in a six-part series that shows Canada’s classic circulation coin designs in a whole new way.
 5 oz. 99.99% pure silver. Each coin in this series features a diameter of 65.25 mm (the same as the Big Coin series), which provides lots of room for elaborate art and complex engraving, including a maple leaf field pattern on the obverse.
 Only 1,300 coins available worldwide.
