Canada: 2025 $20 Dinosaur Eyes Pure Silver Coin
Design: Travel back to an age when dinosaurs ruled the Earth and see the world as
they saw it! 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 from the Royal Canadian Mint presents a
view of that long-gone reality. The coin’s 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.
