The De Havilland Beaver bush plane was introduced shortly after World War II to fly in Canada's extreme northern climates. This iconic Canadian plane, still in use today, is featured in full detail in this 1/25 ounce pure gold collectable coin.
The Beaver was used for transporting passengers and cargo, dusting crops, and providing training, courier, and ambulance services for the military. During Sir Edmund Hillary's expedition to the South Pole, only a Beaver was reliable enough to provide essential support in such extreme conditions.
All collectable coins have been previously owned. Conditions will vary.
