| Reverse description | The reverse, engraved by Christie Paquet, presents a detailed skeletal reconstruction of a Parasaurolophus, a crested hadrosaurid dinosaur, rendered in high relief with a selective antiqued finish that imparts the appearance of an aged fossil specimen. The dinosaur is depicted in a lateral profile, occupying the central field, with fine engraved linework evoking fossilized bone structure. The legend CANADA arcs along the upper periphery and the denomination 4 DOLLARS is inscribed along the lower rim, framing the prehistoric subject. This coin represents the first issue in the Royal Canadian Mint's prehistoric creatures series. |
