As well as designing coins for Britain, George Kruger-Gray also
designed some of the well known classics of Empire: coins of Canada,
New Guinea, New Zealand, Southern Rhodesia, South Africa, and
Mauritius. And I always thought he designed Australia's pre-decimal
classics of the 1930s - well, apparently not. If you'd like to read
about all this, and see more than a few images of his work, then click

Kruger-Gray's 1937 designs for the reverse of the Canadian cent and nickel are
still in use.

Yes, I mention that in my piece. They have stood the test of time very
nicely. Real classics!

Most numismatists can really appreciate a nice furry beaver.
Of course, around this joint, there a few obvious exceptions.
