On the obverse of 2023 Canadian Smilodon Sabre-Tooth Tiger Silver Coins, you will find an effigy of Queen Elizabeth II. In this design from 2003 by Susanna Blunt, we see Her Late Majesty facing right. This represents only the second official portrait of the Queen by an artist from Canada. Inscriptions on the obverse read 1952-2022, ELIZABETH II, D G REGINA, 10 DOLLARS.

In this spectacular rendering by Julius Csotonyi, the tiger leaps forward with open jaws and outstretched claws. The reverse also features the maple leaf security engraving and inscriptions reading CANADA 2023, FINE SILVER, 2 OZ, ARGENT PUR, .9999.
History
With their heavy, muscular bodies and lengthy front canines, the sabre-tooth was one of the most fearsome apex predators of pre-historic times. They would often hunt in packs and could even take down enormous creatures like the Mastodon. They also hunted wooly mammoths, deer, and bison. Rather than stalking and chasing down their food, the sabre-tooth would usually hunt in packs, ambush, and then pounce. During the attack, they then used their front canines to tear through the throat and abdomen of their prey.
