One can imagine standing on the edge of a lake or paddling in a canoe, when nature’s idyllic silence is interrupted by a sudden splash that draws our gaze towards a surprising sight: a partially submerged beaver paddling by with wooden reinforcement for its lodge. An overhead view allows for a careful examination of its muzzle, its rounded body shape, and the famously flat tail that provides balance on land and direction in the water. An outstanding attention to engraved detail is apparent in the motion conveyed by the rippled surface of the water, as well as the textured appearance of the aspen branch firmly held by the beaver’s famously sharp teeth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"West Edmonton Coin \u0026 Stamp","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51176317616260,"sku":"159891","price":109.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0967\/3447\/8468\/files\/2017_10_Fine_Silver_Coin-_Beaver_Reverse__95154.1496724466.1280.1280.jpg?v=1759533658","url":"https:\/\/www.westedmontoncoinandstamp.com\/products\/2017-10-fine-silver-coin-the-beaver","provider":"West Edmonton Coin \u0026 Stamp","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
