With the release of the Ancient Canada Series, the Royal Canadian Mint not only revived the images of prehistoric creatures for modern numismatic coins, but it also revived some old-world coining techniques to create something special. Right now, you can buy 2017 Antique Ancient Canada Ogygopsis 1 oz Silver Coins online at Provident Metals.
Highlights:
With your purchase of the 2017 Antique Ancient Canada Ogygopsis 1 oz Silver Coin online in this Provident Metals listing, you will receive a coin that is housed in a clear, acrylic display. The coin and its display arrive in a presentation box with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity included. The small display stand included allows for the upright display of your coin.
Obverse
Queen Elizabeth II is on the obverse of 2017 Antique Ancient Canada Ogygopsis Silver Coins. This right-profile portrait was created in 2003 by Susanna Blunt and is the only coin portrait during her reign to lack a crown. Inscriptions read ELIZABETH II, 2017, D.G. REGINA, and 20 DOLLARS.
Reverse
An Ogygopsis fossil is shown in the reverse design of 2017 Antique Ogygopsis 1 oz Silver Coins. This fossil shows the outer encasement of the Ogygopsis and offers a brilliant, textured finish. The appearance of this fossil replica was verified by paleontologists from the Royal Tyrrell Museum in Alberta. Inscriptions include CANADA and OGYGOPSIS.
History
These Ancient Canada Series coins are splash-struck specimens. This old-world technique can result in irregular shapes and coins that not only have different shapes, but different thickness dimensions. Some coins may be larger and flatter than others in this series.
