Comment
This coin migtht not have the (2007-2008) RCM logo on it's obverse. To be confirm.The second coin in a fascinating, upscale series featuring prehistoric animals.
With large, razor-sharp fangs, the scimitar cat (Homotherium serum) is arguably one of the most awe-inspiring animals of the Ice Age.
The scimitar cat was roughly the size of a lion, but with a lighter body that gave it more running flexibility than its Ice Age cousins, the saber-tooth cat and American lion. It had a short tail like the lynx, long, powerfulforelimbs but poorly developed hindquarters that gave it a hyena-like stance. While most cats see best at night, scimitar skulls have brain impressions indicating it could also see well in daylight, like themodern cheetah.
Interesting fact
The Saber Tooth Scimitar Cat coin features an unique design, showcasing a saber-toothed cat with its distinctive long teeth and powerful physique, set against a background of a maple leaf, which is a symbol of Canada.
