A followup to 2021's Reaper of Death! Mercury's Horned Face or Mercuriceratops gemini is the featured star of our second Discovering Dinosaurs coin, and the first things you'll notice about this ceratopsid are the bony, wing-like protrusions on its head. Engraved on the coin's reverse, its skull fossil is especially striking against the black rhodium-plated rock background, which pays tribute to the discovery that yielded another piece of Canada's prehistoric past.
