Canada's New Glow In The Dark Dinosaur Coin

The Royal Canadian Mint has introduced a new series of glow in the dark 25-cent coins.  The Pachyrhinosaurus lakustai dinosaur coin is the first in a 4-coin Prehistoric Creature glow-in-the-dark (photo-luminescent) series!


Special features:
• For best effect, place the coin in sunlight, fluorescent, or incandescent light for 30 – 60 seconds then bring the coin into the dark to reveal the skeleton of the dinosaur!
• Turn off the lights and discover the Pachyrhinosaurus’s glowing skeleton!
• Photo-luminescent will not wear!
• Limited to 25,000 coins worldwide.
• Designs approved by the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology.

Design:
The palaeontologist's interpretation of how Pachyrhinosaurus lakustai may have appeared - both inside and out!

Packaging:
Coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint branded maroon clamshell case lined with black flock and protected by a customized coloured sleeve with glow-in-the-dark elements.

An ideal gift for dinosaur enthusiasts young and old, and a unique addition to any numismatic collection.

  1. Really Good Post!

    While you're treasure hunting it's fun to imagine what you might find: a bag of coins, jewelry, war relics, or even a nugget of gold. Lead generation Canada
