Canada: $20 Canadian Dinosaurs: Bathygnathus Borealis Coin 2013
Composition: Pure Silver
Mintage: 8500

Weight(grams): 31.39
Design: The coin showcases a depiction of the Bathygnathus borealis, scientifically verified by the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology. Pictured here as similar to Dimetrodon, the mammal-like reptile bares its long, sharp teeth as its powerful, low-slung body walks. From the animal's back rises one of the key Dimetrodon features: the tall, spiny, skin-covered dorsal sail used to regulate body temperature. The coin was designed by Canadian artist Julius Csotonyi.
Packaging: Coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint branded maroon case lined with flock. It is protected by a black sleeve.
