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.

being sold for $479.95. If you don’t want to pay half of your rent for this, […]

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.

The other variant:
