The Canadian five-cent coin, commonly called a nickel, is a coin worth five cents or one-twentieth of a Canadian dollar. It was patterned on the corresponding coin in the neighbouring United States. Starting 4 February 2013, after the elimination of the penny, it became the smallest valued coin in the currency. Years: 1922–1942 Mass: 4.54 g Diameter: 21.21 mm Shape: round Composition: 99.9% nickel REF Canadian Circulation 5 Cents Source: mint.ca The beaver has a long history in Canada as both commodity and cultural icon. The Hurons honoured the beaver hundreds of years ago as the totem of their tribe. Native peoples used the beaver emblem to sign treaties with the first colonists. Since then the beaver has appeared in the heraldic bearings of Québec City and Montreal and even marked Canada's first postage stamp. The beaver coin design was created by Canadian artist G.E. Kruger Gray and was first used in 1937. Years Minted: 1922 - 1936 Reverse Design: The two maple leaves Reverse Designer: W.H.J.
