| Obverse description | The obverse of this oval-shaped proof silver coin features the uncrowned effigy of King Charles III facing left, rendered in fine relief against a mirror-polished field. The legend CANADA arcs across the upper portion of the oval, while CHARLES III and D.G. REX are inscribed along the lower arc. The date 2025 appears to the left of the effigy and the denomination 20 DOLLARS to the right. The engraver's initials SR appear discreetly beneath the portrait, identifying the work of Steven Rosati. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a highly detailed, coloured close-up of the eye of Thanatotheristes degrootorum, the oldest tyrannosaur species yet discovered in Canada, formally named in 2020. The eye occupies the full oval field, with the surrounding skin and eyelid rendered in finely engraved scales that showcase exceptional surface detail. Within the reflective iris, a vivid colour application depicts other members of the species moving through the dense, swampy forests of Cretaceous Western Canada, creating a dramatic sense of depth and narrative. The composition makes striking use of the coin's oval format, which naturally echoes the shape of a reptilian eye. No legends or inscriptions appear on the reverse, allowing the artwork to dominate the entire field. |
