1969 Canada 5-cents Original Roll of 40 pcs
The beaver is an icon in Canada, both as a cultural heritage and a commodity. In fact, hundreds of years ago, the Hurons, a tribe in the north shore of Ontario, honoured the mammal by making them their totem. Also, native people utilized the beaver emblem to manifest their treaties with the first colonies. On top of these, the semi-aquatic mammal appeared in Quebec City's heraldic bearings and Canada's first postal stamp.
