Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2017 Canadian $20 Elizabeth II (Ogygopsis) silver coin is that it has a unique reverse design that features a stylized image of a fossilized trilobite, a prehistoric marine arthropod. The design is meant to highlight Canada's rich fossil heritage and the importance of preserving our natural history.
