Canadian Nickel

Brief Description

The reverse features a beaver on a log, which has been the standard design for the Canadian nickel since 1937. It include the text '5 CENTS', 'CANADA', and the '1963' date.

Historical Significance

The beaver is one of Canada's national symbols, representing the country's early history in the fur trade. The 1963 nickel is part of the long-standing Elizabeth II series.

Estimated Value

$0.05 to $0.50 USD depending on condition; high-grade uncirculated examples may be worth slightly more.

Care Instructions

Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid cleaning or polishing the coin, as this can damage the original surface and reduce its numismatic value. Handle by the edges to avoid fingerprints.
