| Reverse description | The reverse, designed by Canadian paleoartist Julius Csotonyi, presents a highly detailed artistic rendering of the fossilized skull of Mercuriceratops gemini, a ceratopsian dinosaur species discovered in Alberta's Dinosaur Provincial Park. The skull is depicted in lateral view, rendered with scientific precision and rich surface texture conveying fossilized bone structure, with selective black rhodium plating used to simulate the surrounding rock matrix. The engraved background texture references the geological formation in which the key fossil fragment was unearthed. The legend CANADA 20 DOLLARS frames the design along the periphery, with the scientific binomial Mercuriceratops gemini prominently inscribed across the central field. The composition balances paleontological accuracy with striking artistic drama, characteristic of the Royal Canadian Mint's prehistoric wildlife series. |
