The reverse:

The reverse shows a birds-eye view of a family of beavers — an adult male and female, and their two kits — building a lodge. The obverse depicts what’s happening underwater out of our eyelines, showing the underbellies of the beavers and their lodge.

The side:

It's expensive though:

Collectors can purchase this coin on the Mint’s site, but it’ll cost more than the change in your wallet. It has a mintage of 2,750 and is being sold for $479.95.

For those that might not have clicked through:

Be on the lookout for any colourful toonies in your change — you could add Canada’s newest circulation coin to your collection.

The Royal Canadian Mint unveiled its latest $2 commemorative circulation coin honouring the work of Indigenous artist Daphne Odjig on Thursday.

The toonie is limited to a mintage of three million coins, of which two million are coloured. It begins circulating on Thursday, Sept. 4, so keep an eye out for it in your change.
