Resembling a slender, long-limbed Tyrannosaurus rex (a closely related species that emerged several million years later), Albertosaurus sarcophagus bore a large head, sharp teeth, long tail, and tiny two-toed forelimbs. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe reverse image by Canadian artist Julius Csotonyi features an interpretation of how Albertosaurus sarcophagus may have looked. Presented from the left side in three-quarter profile, this full-body portrait showcases the ancient carnivore's most fascinating traits. The beast's large head is topped with ridge-like horns above its small side-placed eyes. The massive mouth is wide open, presenting the dinosaur's generous rows of sharp, jagged teeth and widely hinged jaw. A short but muscular S-curved neck leads to a thick body with reduced forelimbs bearing two clawed digits and long, powerful hind legs standing on large three-toed feet. In the background, a long tail counterbalances the large head. In this depiction, Albertosaurus sarcophagus is portrayed with filamentous feathers or proto-feathers running along the back of the animal and lining the back of each forelimb. The rest of its scaly body surface is densely pebbled-an element skillfully portrayed in exceptional detail by Royal Canadian Mint engravers. The scientific accuracy of this depiction has been verified by palaeontologists at the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpecifications: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eItem Number: 130634 \u003cbr\u003eComposition: 99.99% pure Silver \u003cbr\u003eMintage: 8,500 \u003cbr\u003eWeight (g): 31.39 \u003cbr\u003eDiameter (mm): 38 \u003cbr\u003eFace Value; $20 \u003cbr\u003eFinish: Proof \u003cbr\u003eEdge: Serrated \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpecial Features: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- The fourth and final coin in the Royal Canadian Mint's Canadian Dinosaur series features the fearsome Albertosaurus sarcophagus. \u003cbr\u003e- This intricately scaled design has been enhanced with multiple finishes, giving a lifelike appearance to the dinosaur. \u003cbr\u003e- The scientific accuracy of the Albertosaurus sarcophagus depiction has been verified by palaeontologists at the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology. \u003cbr\u003e- Perfect for science lovers and those who enjoy dinosaurs, prehistoric life, and Canadian history. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackaging: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaroon clamshell with black beauty box.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Colonial Acres Coins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49223677739297,"sku":"RDC-1213-130634","price":121.5,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/1744\/7457\/files\/130634-2.jpg?v=1719644646","url":"https:\/\/www.colonialacres.com\/products\/rdc-2015-20-canadian-dinosaurs-albertosaurus-fine-silver-no-tax-toned","provider":"Colonial Acres Coins","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
