Description

The de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver is a single engine, high wing, propeller-driven, STOL aircraft developed by de Havilland Canada, primarily known as a bush plane. It is used for cargo and passenger hauling, aerial application (crop dusting and aerial topdressing), and has been widely adopted by armed forces as a utility aircraft. The U.S. Army Air Corps purchased several hundred and nine DHC-2s are still in service with the US Air Force Auxiliary (Civil Air Patrol) for search and rescue. A Royal New Zealand Air Force Beaver supported Sir Edmund Hillary’s expedition to the South Pole. Over 1,600 Beavers were produced until 1967 when the original line shut down, and today the aircraft is in such demand that there is a steady market for finding surplus examples in air museums and rebuilding them.

The Beaver is one of the most famous bush planes in the world, and the most-produced all-Canadian aircraft.

Minted in proof-like MerlinGold, a proprietary brass alloy that simulates the look and feel of gold.

Each coin measures 1 1/2 inch (39mm) in diameter.

This is a surplus NWTM item.
