| Reverse description | The reverse depicts the fossilized skull of Regaliceratops peterhewsi, a ceratopsid dinosaur that lived approximately 69 million years ago, rendered in finely engraved detail beneath a layer of black rhodium plating. The textured engraving evokes the hard concretion in which the skull was entombed when discovered on the banks of the Oldman River in southern Alberta. The composition is framed by the inscriptions CANADA and Regaliceratops peterhewsi, with the denomination 20 DOLLARS and date 2024 completing the legend, along with the engraver's initials JC. The interplay of black rhodium and bare silver surfaces creates a dramatic, high-contrast representation of the fossil specimen. |
