These special-themed 25 cent coins feature three very different dinosaurs that share a special connection: they’re among the many dinosaur species that were discovered right here in Canada. They’re a part of our history, and the proof is in their “Canadian” names. Imagine seeing a spiky Edmontonia Longiceps moving towards you. Or watching Pachyrhinosaurus Canadensis charge headlong at a rival. Or coming face-to-face with a hungry Albertosaurus Sarcophagus. All three coins are tucked inside a colourful 3D pop-up folder that welcomes you to a Late Cretaceous Canada, home to prehistoric wonders of all shapes and sizes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlbertosaurus Sarcophagus: \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eThe reverse image by Julius Csotonyi features Albertosaurus Sarcophagus bursting out of a prehistoric forest of Metasequoia conifers and Osmunda-type ferns. This is the dinosaur that put Canada on the palaeontology map in 1884—it was the first meat-eating dinosaur discovered here. The “flesh-eating lizard from Alberta” lived 72-68 million years ago. As the top predator of its time, it was probably terrifying on its own … but imagine having to fight off more than one Albertosaurus — the discovery of at least 12 individuals in one bonebed touched off some debate about possible pack behaviours.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePachyrhinosaurus Canadensis: \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eThe reverse image by Julius Csotonyi finds Pachyrhinosaurus Canadensis in a lake setting.

Its genus name may give the impression it is related to the modern-day rhinoceros, but that’s not the case: it just means “thick-nosed lizard.” And given the evidence of broken ribs in some specimens, it seems likely that this herbivore would head-butt its rivals!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eEdmontonia Longiceps:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe reverse image by Julius Csotonyi shows Edmontonia Longiceps stepping over Erlingdorfia leaves on the wet ground.

Edmontonia longiceps was naturally armoured and likely put up a fight against predators like Albertosaurus. It had forward-pointing spikes on its shoulders, spines on its sides, and keeled plates on its tail and body.
