2013 Canadian $20 The Beaver - 1 oz Fine Silver Coin

2013 Canadian $20 The Beaver - 1 oz Fine Silver Coin

Along with the Canadian horse, the beaver is one of Canada’s two national animals. While the beaver became an official symbol of Canada in 1975, its use as a symbol of this land goes back to the country’s earliest roots. In fact, a beaver appears on the first coat of arms associated with the land now known as Canada, dating back to the early 1620s.
