Travel back to an age when dinosaurs ruled the Earth and see the world as they saw it!

With each new fossil discovery, paleontologists are able to piece together new information about what the world looked like millions of years before us, and this oval-shaped coin presents a view of that long-gone reality.

Its oval outline is perfectly shaped for an extreme close-up of the eye (and scaly eyelid) of Thanatotheristes, the most ancient Canadian tyrannosaur and the top predator of its time.

For another view of this species, take a closer look at the colourful reflection in the eye—you’ll notice that this fearsome two-legged carnivore wasn’t travelling alone.
