SCIMITAR SABRETOOTH CAT Frozen in Ice 1 Oz Silver Coin 20$ Canada 2018

The reverse of the coin is designed by Canadian artist Glen Loates and portrays a scimitar sabre-tooth cat in standing atop a rocky outcrop in a vast grassland. The image, reviewed for scientific accuracy by palaeontologists of the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology, presents a full-body portrait of the Ice Age predator, with its fierce teeth on display as it opens its mouth. A frosted "ice" like dome overlays the portrait. The portion of the portrait under the ice is coloured, while the remainder of the image is struck-only, giving the impression of a colourful window to our land's ancient past. On the bottom of the reverse, the inscription: "CANADA" – the issuing country. On the right, the inscription: "2018" – the year of issue. The obverse of the coin depicts the Effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the inscriptions: "ELIZABETH II" – the name of the Queen, "D . G . Regina" – Dei Gratia Regina, "20 DOLLARS" – the year of issue.
