Comment
There are few places in the world where dinosaur embryos have been discovered, but Canada is one of them. In 1987, eggshells found at Devil’s Coulee, in southern Alberta, led to the discovery of one of the largest dinosaur nesting sites in North America. There, palaeontologists from the Royal Tyrrell Museum unearthed the fossilized remains of Hypacrosaurus stebingeri nests, eggs, even embryos—a rare find for a species that roamed the land 75 million years ago. A young duckbill dinosaur emerges into a new world—ours—on our latest prehistoric-themed offering. The fine silver coin is the perfect shape for a colourful depiction of a baby Hypacrosaurus breaking free from its egg against an engraved forest backdrop.Interesting fact
The Hadrosaur coin is a unique collector's item because it features a rare species of dinosaur that lived in Canada during the Cretaceous period, approximately 76 to 65 million years ago. The coin's design showcases the Hadrosaur's distinctive features, such as its duck-billed snout and scaly body, making it a fascinating addition to any collection of dinosaur-themed coins.
