Product Description
Discover a dinosaur with bony “wings” on its head. Order your rhodium-plated coin today!
This beautiful coin portraits Mercury’s Horned Face or Mercuriceratops gemini is the featured star of our second Discovering Dinosaurs coin, and the first things you’ll notice about this ceratopsid are the bony, wing-like protrusions on its head. Engraved on the coin’s reverse, its skull fossil is especially striking against the black rhodium-plated “rock” background, which pays tribute to the discovery that yielded another piece of Canada’s prehistoric past.
Designed by Canadian paleo artist Julius Csotonyi, the coin’s reverse features the fossilized skull of Mercuriceratops gemini, a recently discovered horned dinosaur species. Beneath the black rhodium plating, the engraved texture represents the rock formation in Alberta’s Dinosaur Provincial Park where a key fossil fragment was found. The obverse also features rhodium plating behind the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
- The second Discovering Dinosaurs coin places you in the field and at the site of another discovery.
