With a massive skull and a jaw full of dagger-like teeth, the carnivorous Tyrannosaurus rex inspires a mixture
of awe and fear—especially if you were to cross paths with a living one! The towering “king of the tyrant
lizards” has you in its sights on the reverse of this fine silver coin, where a coloured enamel eye adds extra
intensity to one of Prehistoric Canada’s fiercest gaze.

SPECIAL FEATURES
DESIGN
The reverse design by Julius Csotonyi offers the viewer a rare close encounter with one of the most fearsome
predators of the Late Cretaceous Period, some 68-66 million years ago. This depiction of Tyrannosaurus rex is
based on current scientific knowledge, and has been reviewed for accuracy by palaeontologists of the Royal
Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology in Drumheller, Alberta. The three-quarter view allows for the careful study of
T. rex’s famous facial features, including the serrated teeth that line its powerful, bone-crunching jaw; but a
closer examination reveals an astounding depth to every engraved detail—especially the meticulously sculpted
scales that give the skin a reptile-like texture. The viewer’s gaze is easily drawn towards the coloured enamel
eye, whose brown-hued iris and round pupil add a splash of life-like colour and intimidating intensity to this
ancient carnivore’s chilling stare. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by
Susanna Blunt.
