2016 Canada $10 Day of the Dinosaurs The Spiked Lizard Fine Silver (No Tax)

With a long nasal horn-and six more horns that extend out from behind its neck frill-the stout Styracosaurus cuts quite the formidable figure for an herbivore! This "spiked lizard" of the Late Cretaceous period is the subject of the second coin in the continuing Day of the Dinosaurs series, which showcases the wondrous, even fearsome qualities of Canada's prehistoric creatures.

 Selective colour and engraving bring this dinosaur species to life, all in incredible detail.
 A scientifically accurate depiction of a formidable herbivore in the sub-tropical environment of its era, in what is present-day Alberta!
 This depiction of Styracosaurus has been verified by palaeontologists at the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology.
 A unique way to learn more about the species whose fossils connect us with a distant past, and the way Canada's landscape has evolved over millions of years.
 An exciting addition to any collection, but also a fun and affordable way to introduce coin collecting to young fans of prehistoric creatures.
