The 2008 De Havilland Beaver Pure Gold Proof Coin


The fifth and last coin in the Smallest Gold Coins Ever Produced By The Royal Canadian Mint Series, this 2008 pure gold proof coin features the DHC-2 Beaver, one of the most famous bush planes in the world.

Reverse: Along the rim on top, “CANADA”. In the center, the DHC-2 Beaver aircraft and "9999". Along the rim at the bottom “FINE GOLD 1/25 OZ OR PUR”.


Obverse: In the center, a portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Along the rim, the inscriptions "ELIZABETH II" on the top, and the face value and year of issue at the bottom.


Created after the Second World War, the de Havilland Beaver was built to withstand the extremes of Canada’s northern regions. Used widely as a utility aircraft, the Beaver has been used by military and civilians alike. Over 1,600 Beavers were produced and have served in many countries. Some can still be seen flying around the world today, a testament to the Beaver’s durability.
