# 517 - Canadian Commemoratives - Part 23

In 2013 the Royal Canadian Mint issued a series called "Canadian Dinosaurs".

This is the first coin in the series featuring portraits of prehistoric animals discovered in Canada.

It is a 2013 $20 CAD weighting 31.39g with 99.99% silver purity and Proof finish.

Its mintage was 7,500 units and the issue price was $89.95 CAD.

The reverse image features an interpretation of what "Bathygnathus borealis" may have looked like. The scientific accuracy of the depiction was verified by palaeontologists of the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology.

Depicted here as similar to Dimetrodon, we see the mammal-like reptile’s powerful, low-slung body. From the animal’s back rises one of the key Dimetrodon features: the tall, spiny, skin-covered dorsal sail used to regulate body temperature.
