2025 5 cent Multilayered Beaver 5 oz silver coin


High quality coin -- fresh from mint


This listing is for the 2025 5 cent Multilayered beaver coin. Check out the new technology!!


This coin is 110 grams, 55 mm in diameter.

Canada’s iconic beaver, now in a 3D space.

On the 50ᵗʰ anniversary of Castor canadensis becoming an official symbol of Canada, the iconic beaver from G. E. Kruger Gray’s five-cent coin design has been given its own space to shine on this 99.99% pure silver coin, which features layers of engraving—not just on the coin’s surface, but on its interior, too. This is made possible by Multilayered Engraving, an innovative minting technique pioneered by our engineers and previewed in early 2020 (From the R&D Lab: Multilayered Polar Bear). Using special dies, we’re able to engrave behind the reverse’s top plate, which cuts away to present a more multidimensional rendering of this classic coin design featuring a cherished Canadian emblem.

Own a multilayered version of a classic. 

Special features



  • Canada’s five-cent coin, reimagined. Canada’s beaver-themed five-cent coin is reimagined as a multilayered coin! By separating the art into individual layers of engraving, this multidimensional approach brings renewed appreciation for a classic Canadian coin design.
  • A low-mintage must-have. Only 1,650 coins are available to collectors worldwide, and the two previous coins—2020’s From R&D Lab: Multilayered Polar Bear prototype and 2021’s Multilayered Cougar coin—sold out almost instantly.
  • The art frames itself. The background offers a sweeping view of the landscape—it doesn’t just stop where the subject (the beaver) begins. It’s a more dimensional approach to coin design, all while working with the traditional weight and precious metal volume of a standard coin blank.
  • An anniversary year. This is one of several beaver-themed collectibles in 2025, as we celebrate the 50ᵗʰ anniversary of the designation of Castor canadensis as an official symbol of Canadian sovereignty.
  • A limited collectible. Only 1,650 of these innovative coins exist and are available to collectors worldwide—a very low mintage due to a complex minting process.
  • Includes serialized certificate. The Royal Canadian Mint certifies all of its collector coins.
  • No GST/HST.
Your coin’s reverse is an innovative multidimensional rendering of Canada’s five-cent circulation coin design by G. E. Kruger Gray. The words “5 CENTS” and “CANADA” are engraved on the reverse’s top plate surface, and at the centre, the iconic beaver is surrounded by cut-outs revealing the landscape elements (clouds, water) and the year (“2025”) engraved on the interior surface. A wave pattern appears on both the top plate and on the coin’s obverse, which features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.

Innovative technology

Pioneered by the Royal Canadian Mint’s R&D researchers, Multilayered Engraving unlocks additional design space by engraving behind the top plate and on the coin’s inside surface.

DID YOU KNOW?

The beaver is one of the only mammals (other than humans) known to manufacture its own environment, and as an ecosystem engineer, its building and logging activities are key to maintaining the health of our wetlands. From the 17ᵗʰ to the mid-19ᵗʰ century, the beaver found itself at the centre of the fur trade that was the economic engine of pre-Confederation Canada. Owing to its important role in this nation’s history and already a cultural icon, Castor canadensis was proclaimed an official symbol of the sovereignty of Canada 50 years ago, on March 24, 1975, when the National Symbol of Canada Act received royal assent.
