Reverse description
The coin’s reverse features the fossilized skull of Regaliceratops peterhewsi, a recently discovered horned dinosaur species that lived approximately 69 million years ago. Beneath the black rhodium plating, the engraved texture represents the hard concretion that encased the skull, which was found on the banks of the Oldman River in southern Alberta.
