It's rare to find a young skeleton of a young tyrannosaur, but a Gorgosaurus libratus specimen discovered in Alberta’s Dinosaur Provincial Park in 2009 revealed something even rarer: a last meal, preserved inside its stomach cavity. Merging science and story in one unforgettable piece, this dinosaur-themed coin features a new technology – Double-dimension Relief - two minting technologies are incorporated into one coin! HST/GST Exempt. 

The Design:
The coin’s obverse is struck Super Incuse (incuse relief struck below the coin’s surface), while the coin’s reverse is struck in Ultra High Relief (raised relief struck above the coin’s surface). It brings to life an exceptional palaeontological discovery: the first fossil evidence that juvenile tyrannosaurs ate differently than adults. The coin’s obverse takes you to the dig site, where the deep trench encircling the fossil is struck Super Incuse. Flip over the coin for a reimagining of the past on the coin’s reverse, where Ultra High Relief highlights the young Gorgosaurus as it chases down a yearling Citipes elegans, offering a glimpse into Late Cretaceous predator-prey interactions.
