Product Overview

Travel back to an age when dinosaurs ruled the Earth and see the world as they saw it with this 2025 one ounce fine silver coin. With each new fossil discovery, paleontologists are able to piece together new information about what the world looked like millions of years before us, and this oval-shaped coin presents a view of that long-gone reality. Its oval outline is perfectly shaped for an extreme closeup of the eye (and scaly eyelid) of Thanatotheristes, the most ancient Canadian tyrannosaur and the top predator of its time. For another view of this species, take a closer look at the colourful reflection in the eye; you’ll notice that this fearsome two-legged carnivore wasn’t travelling alone.

Designed by Canadian paleoartist Julius Csotonyi, this oval-shaped coin’s reverse is a close-up of a tyrannosaur eye.  While the skin and eyelid are covered in fine (engraved) scales, the dinosaur’s surroundings are colourfully reflected in the eye itself, revealing the presence of other individuals of this species, as they move through the swampy forests of Cretaceous western Canada.

The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.
