Each splash-struck coin is truly unique and brings life to the fossilized remains of Ornithomimus. Using an old coin-making technique, the coin does not have a rim; instead, the 99.99% pure Silver is allowed to “spill” beyond a traditional round shape to give the coin an irregular one, just like an ancient Roman coin!

Obverse: Displays a right-facing profile of Queen Elizabeth II, along with the year and face value. Reverse: Depicts the fossilized remains of Ornithomimus, as it was found in the rocks of the Alberta badlands. Guaranteed by the Royal Canadian Mint.
