With its serrated teeth and imposing stature, it's easy to imagine the carnivorous Gorgosaurus living up to its "fierce lizard" name! This tyrannosaur's articulated remains are faithfully reproduced on our newest addition to the Ancient Canada series of antiqued, splash-struck coins. Take a close look at the reverse, where the mix of engraving and finishes realistically capture the time-worn look and feel of fossils preserved in sandstone—just like those recovered from Alberta's Dinosaur Provincial Park!
