TYRANNOSAURUS REX Dinosaurs Silver Coin 20 Dollars Canada 2016

This 20 dollar coin is 99.99% pure silver with a nominal metal weight of 7.96 grams and a diameter of 27 millimetres. The reverse design by Canadian artist Julius Csotonyi features a Tyrannosaurus rex running toward the viewer. Its head and body aimed straight ahead, the T-rex turns its head slightly to the right side of the coin face, opening its mouth wide to reveal deadly teeth. Its right eye focuses squarely on its target. The image provides a unique vantage point that still showcases the characteristic horizontal gait of the two-legged predator. In the background, its tail swings to the left of the image and its small right forelimb rises slightly from its body. The ground is dotted with the ferns that grew in its native habitat.
