COIN #3: Imagine the excitement of unearthing a new prehistoric species: Discovering Dinosaurs places you in the field and at the site of an exciting Canadian dinosaur discovery! This is our third Discovering Dinosaurs coin.

RHODIUM PLATING: The black rhodium-plated background represents the hidden or unknown past. This dark design element keeps the focus on the engraved fossils that have helped paleontologists piece together the story of prehistoric Canada.

“NEW” DINOSAUR: Like 2021’s Reaper of Death (Coin #1) and 2022’s Mercury’s Horned Face (Coin #2), Regaliceratops is a recent Canadian discovery: the 69-million-year-old skull depicted on this coin was discovered in 2005, and after careful study, the newly discovered species was unveiled in 2015. Regaliceratops has never appeared on a coin until now.

SCIENTIFICALLY VERIFIED: The fossil depicted on your coin has been verified for scientific accuracy by the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology, where the skull was carefully studied by paleontologists, and where it is now on permanent display in the museum’s Dinosaur Hall.

ENGRAVED TEXTURE: Beneath the rhodium plating on your coin’s reverse, the engraved texture represents the thrill of discovery: it mimics the textured appearance of hard rock in which the Regaliceratops skull was encased.

FOR DINO LOVERS OF ALL AGES: Dinosaurs are a popular theme with collectors and Canadians of all ages. They're also an important part of Canada's natural heritage.

LIMITED MINTAGE: Only 8,000 coins are available worldwide. The packaging includes serialized certificate. The Royal Canadian Mint certifies all of its collector coins.

PACKAGING: The 1 oz 99.99% pure silver coin is individually encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded clamshell with a black beauty box.
