It’s the most famous prehistoric Ice Age predator, and if you were a young mammoth or mastodon, the last thing you’d want to see is Smilodon fatalis suddenly lunging at you and flashing its oversized fangs! “Smilodon” means “scalpel tooth, ” a fitting descriptor for an ancient big cat whose deadly canines measured up to 18 centimetres long. A key top predator, the sabre-toothed cat would have stalked large herbivores-horses, camels, giant ground sloths and more-by hiding and pouncing on them, much like today’s big cats. Despite being synonymous with the Ice Age, you won’t find Smilodon perched atop a glacier-this prehistoric big cat preferred warmer climes. Its fossils are among the most common ones found in the tar pit deposits of California, but its range extended across ice-free areas of North, Central and South America. In 2019, a 35,000-to-40,000-year-old bone became the first verified evidence of Smilodon fatalis’ existence in the prehistoric plains of southern Alberta, before becoming extinct at the end of the Pleistocene epoch, around 11,700 years ago. The obverse features the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt. The obverse also bears a special marking that includes four pearls symbolizing the four effigies that have graced Canadian coins and the double date of her reign. FEATURES Contains 2 oz of. Coin comes in protective packaging. Multiples of 14 come in plastic mint tubes. Multiples of 280 come in Monster Boxes. Obverse: The effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt. Reverse: Features an absolutely stunning rendition of a leaping sabertooth with all claws out. Guaranteed by the Royal Canadian Mint. Composition: 99.99% pure silver Weight: 2 oz. (62.67 g) Diameter: 38 mm Face Value: 10 dollars (CAN) Finish: Bullion with Radial Lines Edge: Serrated Packaging: Tubes Box Quantity: 280 Smilodon, also known as the saber-toothed cat, is a species of extinct carnivorous mammals that lived approximately 2.5 million to 10,000 years ago. They were part of the Felidae family and were widely distributed throughout North and South America. Smilodon had long, sharp, saber-like upper canines that were up to 7 inches in length, which made them highly adapted for hunting and capturing prey. These canines were the longest of any known felid and were used to pierce the skin and throats of their prey. Smilodon had a muscular body and a powerful jaw, making them one of the most formidable predators of the Pleistocene era. There were several species of Smilodon, including Smilodon populator, Smilodon fatalis, and Smilodon gracilis. The exact cause of their extinction is not known, but some theories suggest changes in climate and the disappearance of their prey may have contributed to their decline. Smilodon is a popular and well-known species, and its fossils are widely sought after by paleontologists, collectors, and museums. The discovery of Smilodon skeletons and fossils has provided valuable information about the evolution and ecology of large carnivores during the Pleistocene era. Includes two cutting-edge security features: precise radial lines and a micro-engraved lasered maple leaf with the numeral “23″ (visible under magnification) to denote the coin’s year of issue. Masterfully crafted by Royal Canadian Mint engravers using a variety of engraving techniques and finishes, which bring depth and texture to this unforgettable portrait of the fearsome Ice Age carnivore. An attractive acquisition for both first-time precious metal buyers and long-term investors. This item is in the category “Coins & Paper Money\Bullion\Silver\Coins”.

Composition – gold (99.99% pure). Weight (g) – 31.39 (1 troy ounce). Diameter (mm) – 38. Certificate – serialized (serial numbers will vary). Face value – 20 dollars (a legal tender Canadian coin). Artists – Julius Csotonyi (reverse), Susanna Blunt (obverse). The scimitar cat (Homotherium serum) is arguably one of the most awe-inspiring animals of the Ice Age. Famous for its knife-like fangs, the scimitar cat’s teeth were shorter than those of the better known sabre-tooth cat, Smilodon fatalis, but were equally lethal: its sabres were coarsely serrated, just like a steak knife, making them perfectly suited for slicing through the soft flesh of its prey. This fierce feline was a master at pursuing prey, which consisted of ungulates such as horses and camels. The scimitar cat would charge from behind a bush or tall grasses with blinding swiftness, bowl over its intended prey and slash the throat with its lethal canines. Then, once the uproar subsided, the cat dragged its latest meal to its den. It was roughly the size of a lion, but with a lighter body that gave it more running flexibility than its Ice Age cousins, other sabre-tooth cats, and the American lion. It had a short tail like a lynx, and long, powerful forelimbs but slightly shorter hind legs that gave it a hyena-like stance. Having gone extinct sometime between 13,000 and 11,000 years ago, the scimitar cat’s demise was likely linked to the extinction of the large Ice Age herbivores. To ensure a high degree of scientific accuracy, the design of this coin was verified by palaeontologists of the Royal Tyrrell Museum in Alberta. Unmatched detail is achieved through the technically demanding application of multiple finishes: highlights shine and shadows deepen while the depth and texture of the scimitar’s facial features are enhanced. For our Canadian customers, this coin is GST/HST exempt. Canadian artist Julius Csotonyi has crafted a heart-stopping portrait of a roaring scimitar cat, with its mouth open wide as it bares its lethal teeth and scimitars. The details are exquisite: luxurious fur, piercing eyes, razor-sharp teeth and a roughly textured tongue are all beautifully rendered with finely detailed engraving. Each coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded maroon clam-shell case protected by a custom beauty box.

Unsearched All of the coins offered in this listing are unsearched. Many coin dealers search all coins when they are received from the Mint. They “cherry-pick” the best coins. Then submit them to be graded, certified, and slabbed by PCGS, NGC, ANACS, etc. When a dealer searches coins, those that they sell in original Mint packaging are only lesser quality coins. Photos: When a listing offers multiples of the same coin, one coin is picked at random and photographed. Since all coins offered in that listing are essentially identical, the coin photographed is representative of all coins offered. Surface areas that appear black on some proof coin photos are actually highly polished, mirror-bright metal reflecting the color of the camera. We often include proof coin photos with the coin slightly tilted to better depict the mirror bright surfaces. However, tilting the coin may resulting one side being slightly out of focus. Whenever possible, we use actual photos of our coins, rather than just stock artwork from the Mint. We frequently update and upgrade the photos that appear with our listings, using improved cameras and lenses and better lighting. We will honor your requests for additional photos as quickly as our schedule permits.
