2013 CANADA 25 CENTS - Coloured Coin Glow in the dark Dinosaur - Tylosaurus Pembinensis Millions of years ago, a vast inland sea covered the centre of the North American continent, teeming with strange and fearsome beasts. The king of these wonders was the mosasaur Tylosaurus-a superpredator related to present-day snakes and Komodo dragons that was one of the most massive creatures ever to inhabit Earth's oceans. This unique coloured coin includes an unusual photo-luminescent feature. Designed by Canadian artist Julius Csotonyi, with the technical guidance of paleontologists at Alberta's Royal Tyrell Museum, the reverse side of this painted coin illustrates paleontologists' rendition of what Tylosaurus pembinensis may have looked like. Specifications: Face Value: 25 cents Mintage: 30,000 Composition: Cupronickel Diameter (mm): 35 Edge: Plain Finish: Specimen with colour Packaging: Coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint box
