2025 Canada 1 oz Silver $20 Dinosaur Eye
2025 Canada 1 oz Silver $20 Dinosaur Eye
This striking 2025 release from the Royal Canadian Mint departs from traditional circular coinage, featuring a distinctive oval shape that perfectly frames its prehistoric subject. Struck in one ounce of 99.99 percent pure silver, the coin captures a remarkably detailed close-up of Canada's oldest known tyrannosaur species, Thanatotheristes degrootum. Discovered as recently as 2020, this ancient predator is brought to life through a focused depiction of its scaly eyelid and intense eye, designed by artist Julius Csotonyi. The obverse side presents the modern effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, created by Steven Rosati. Legible inscriptions on this side include the monarch's name, the issuing country, the year 2025, and the face value of 20 dollars. With a limited mintage of 8,500 pieces, this proof-quality coin offers a fascinating intersection of modern numismatic artistry and paleontology.
