Comment
Albertosaurus meaning "Alberta lizard" is a genus of tyrannosaurid theropod dinosaur that lived in western North America during the Late Cretaceous Period, about 70 million years ago. The type species, A. sarcophagus, was apparently restricted in range to the modern-day Canadian province of Alberta, after which the genus is named.Interesting fact
The interesting fact about this coin is that it features a lenticular printing technique, which creates a 3D-like effect on the Albertosaurus image. This makes the coin stand out and adds an extra layer of depth and visual interest to its design.
