Where it came from
The 2011 five-cent coin was issued by the Royal Canadian Mint as part of the centennial celebration of the Canadian dollar, commemorating the 100th anniversary of the first silver dollar and the formal establishment of the Canadian currency system. This particular strike features the traditional beaver design on the reverse, a motif that has represented Canadian industry and resilience on the five-cent piece since 1937.
The obverse displays the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, as designed by Susanna Blunt, which has been a standard feature on Canadian coinage since 2003. While this coin honors the historical legacy of Canadian currency, it also reflects the Mint's commitment to maintaining its standard circulation coinage specifications during a period of transition in base metal compositions.
