Around it, finely engraved scales give the appearance of textured dinosaur skin. According to the Mint, the design imagines what the animal might have seen as it roamed the Cretaceous landscape in a scene filled with other dinosaurs and swampy Canadian forests.</p><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/DNA0WXFMAfV/?utm_source=ig_embed&ig_rid=e1198e00-ce38-4ec0-b4e3-1937df5687c1" data-instgrm-version="4" style="background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:658px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);">

The species depicted, <em>Thanatotheristes</em>, lived roughly 79.5 million years ago and is considered Canada's oldest known tyrannosaur. It could grow up to 10 metres long and weigh as much as 2.5 tonnes.</p><p>The obverse of the coin features King Charles III, designed by Canadian artist Steven Rosati. The front of the coin is also curved, which adds to the three-dimensional effect of the eye.</p><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image"> <img alt="A new coin from the Royal Canadian Mint" class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="1266cd7332c1bb528c225d948517165e" data-rm-shortcode-name="rebelmouse-image" id="aee9d" loading="lazy" src="https://www.mtlblog.com/media-library/a-new-coin-from-the-royal-canadian-mint.webp?id=61444699&width=980"/> <small class="image-media media-caption" placeholder="Add Photo Caption...">The reverse includes engraved details that aim to replicate Thanatotheristes's scaly skin and eye area.</small><small class="image-media media-photo-credit" placeholder="Add Photo Credit...">Royal Canadian Mint</small></p><p>Only 8,500 coins were produced.
