Description: 2013 'Quetzalcoatlus Lakustai' Glow-in-the-dark 25-Cent Coin This unique painted cupronickel coin has a diameter of 35mm and includes a unusual photo-luminescent feature. Designed by artist Julius Csotonyi, with the technical guidance of paleontologists at Alberta’s Royal Tyrell Museum, the reverse side of this painted coin illustrates paleontologists’ rendition of what Quetzalcoatlus. probably looked like. Centered within a raised circular frame, the amazing pterosaur’s head, dominated by an exceptionally long open beak, is viewed from its right side, its right eye gazing at the viewer. Its head sits atop a long, stiff neck leading to a powerful chest and shoulders, long legs and its massive folded, bat-like wings. When the coin is removed from natural light, however, we see the skeleton upon which paleontologists have based their illustration. In the glow-in-the-dark image, the huge flying beast is transformed into a delicate skeleton composed of lightweight slender bones that rendered the large beast light enough to remain airborne. The frame surrounding the image features the embossed word 'CANADA,' the date '2013,' and the face value of '25 CENTS.' The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.Product specifications: - Face Value: 25 cents - Mintage: 30,000 - Composition: Cupronickel - Diameter (mm): 35 - Edge: Plain - Finish: Specimen with colour Artist: Julius T.
