Discover a dinosaur with bony "wings" on its head.
A follow up to 2021's Reaper of Death! Mercury's Horned Face or Mercuriceratops gemini is the featured star of our second Discovering Dinosaurs coin, and the first things you'll notice about this ceratopsid are the bony, wing-like protrusions on its head.
Engraved on the coin's reverse, its skull fossil is especially striking against the black rhodium-plated "rock" background, which pays tribute to the discovery that yielded another piece of Canada's prehistoric past.
Coin #2: Meet a relative of Triceratops.
By popular demand. Imagine the excitement of unearthing a new prehistoric species! The follow up to 2021's sold-out Reaper of Death coin, the second Discovering Dinosaurs coin places you in the field and at the site of another discovery.
"New" dinosaur. Like the tyrannosaur on the first coin, this horned dinosaur is a relative "newcomer"-the 76-million-year-old Mercuriceratops was unveiled in 2014 and has never appeared on a coin until now.
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.
Includes serialized certificate. The Royal Canadian Mint certifies all of its collector coins.
