2019 - 25¢ - Dinosaurs of Canada 25-Cent 3-Coin Set

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. Our Dinosaurs of Canada set is your gateway to a Late Cretaceous Canada, home to prehistoric wonders of all shapes and sizes! Tucked inside an exhibit-ready pop-up folder, these special-themed coins feature three different dinosaurs that were discovered in Canada—the proof is in their names!

Albertosaurus sarcophagus
This is the dinosaur that put Canada on the palaeontology map in 1884—it was the first meat-eating dinosaur discovered here.
Pachyrhinosaurus Canadensis
A member of the Ceratopsidae (horned dinosaur) family, Pachyrhinosaurus canadensis lived 72.2 to 71.2 million years ago. 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!
Edmontonia longiceps
This nodosaurid lived 71.5 to 71 million years ago and was named for the Edmonton Formation, now known as the Horseshoe Canyon Formation.
