Throughout our history, it has evolved from being a vital economic asset to becoming a proud emblem of Canadian sovereignty. In 2025, the 50th anniversary of the National Symbol of Canada Act (1975) serves as a moment to reflect on the beaver’s incredible legacy. Its likeness is captured on this Special Edition Proof Dollar, where it is surrounded by branches of maple leaves that reflect the beaver’s importance to our nation’s story and identity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eSPECIAL FEATURES\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eCanada celebrates the beaver in 2025. Celebrate a cherished Canadian emblem!
