Experience the awe-inspiring grandeur of the Late Cretaceous period with the Canada 2026 T Rex 99.99% Proof Silver Coin 1oz (with Black Light Paint Technology) from the Royal Canadian Mint. Struck from 1oz of 99.99% fine silver in proof quality, this piece vividly illustrates a momentous encounter between the apex land predator, Tyrannosaurus rex (the formidable “tyrant lizard king”), and the undisputed master of the ancient skies, Quetzalcoatlus northropi.
The coin’s reverse captures a dynamic prehistoric scene, enhanced with selective colour to breathe life into these magnificent beasts. Beyond its immediate visual impact, the design conceals a fascinating scientific secret. When illuminated with the included black light flashlight, a hidden layer emerges, revealing the glowing fossilised skeletons of both creatures—a poignant homage to the extraordinary paleontological discoveries unearthed across Canada's fossil-rich terrains. To ensure scientific accuracy, this remarkable depiction was meticulously reviewed by Dr. François Therrien, an esteemed paleontologist and Curator of Dinosaur Palaeoecology at the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology. The obverse depicts the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, the King's name “CHARLES III”, face value and “D.G. REX”, which is an abbreviation for "Dei Gratia Rex," a Latin title meaning "By the grace of God, King”.
Housed in an elegant display case, this coin combines numismatic artistry with natural history. With a limited worldwide mintage of 8,500 pieces, it stands as an essential acquisition for both astute collectors and enthusiasts of our planet’s prehistoric legacy.
