Product Overview

2013 25-CENT COLORED COIN - PREHISTORIC ANIMALS - QUETZALCOATLUS

Across the plains and highlands of the Western Interior Seaway that covered the centre of the North American continent more than 65 million years ago soared one of the largest animals ever to take to the air: Quetzalcoatlus. This pterosaur from the Late Cretaceous period was a large, lightweight lizard with a long, stiff neck, a sharp bill, and a wingspan of up to 10 meters (33 feet).
This unique painted cupronickel coin has a diameter of 35mm and includes a unusual photo-luminescent feature. Designed by 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 Quetzalcoatlus. probably looked like.
