# 519 - Canadian Commemoratives - Part 25
In 2013-2015 the Royal Canadian Mint issued a series called "Canadian Dinosaurs".
This is the third coin in the series featuring portraits of prehistoric animals discovered in Canada.
It is a 2014 $20 CAD weighting 31.39g with 99.99% silver purity and Proof finish.
Its mintage was 8,500 units and the issue price was $89.95 CAD.
In 2012, a team of Canadian palaeontologists rediscovered a series of fossils collected in 1958 from Alberta’s Foremost Formation, near the village of Foremost. These samples led researchers to identify not only a new species of dinosaur, but the oldest species of its kind yet discovered in Canada.
The reverse features an interpretation of how Xenoceratops Foremontensis may have looked. It presents an interpretation of possible tonal variations on a pebble-textured hide—all rendered in dimensional detail by Royal Canadian Mint engravers using multiple finishes and expert engraving techniques. The scientific accuracy of the depiction was verified by palaeontologists Dr. Michael Ryan and Dr. David Evans who discovered and described Xenoceratops in 2012.
The obverse of the coin features the well known effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
