The reverse design of the new coin features a captivating image of a beaver in motion. The beaver is shown swimming with its head just above the surface of the water and its tail flipping upwards trailing a stream of water droplets. A natural habitat appears in the background with the looming figure of a wolf on the shore.  Inscriptions include “Canada”, “50 Dollars” and the “2015” date. The reverse design is by Emily Damstra.

The obverse of the coin carries the Susanna Blunt effigy of Queen Elizabeth II.

Each coin is struck in 99.99% pure silver with a matte proof finish and serrated edge. The coins weigh 15.87 grams and have a diameter of 34 mm. The mintage is limited to 100,000 pieces.
