2013 Canada 25 Cents Coloured Quetzalcoatlus Coin – Prehistoric Flying Reptile
CA$24.00

Issued in 2013 as part of Canada’s popular Prehistoric Creatures circulating commemorative series, this Canada 25 Cents Coloured Quetzalcoatlus coin features a dramatic full-colour depiction of one of the largest flying animals ever known to science. The coin was produced by the Royal Canadian Mint and highlights Canada’s rich fossil history through bold, educational designs.

The reverse shows Quetzalcoatlus, a massive pterosaur from the Late Cretaceous period, rendered with elongated wings, slender legs, and a distinctive beak. The detailed colour artwork contrasts beautifully against the frosted nickel-plated steel background, making this issue especially appealing to dinosaur enthusiasts, educators, and modern Canadian coin collectors.

As with other 2013 colourized quarters, examples preserved in protective capsules with intact colour and clean surfaces command the strongest collector interest and resale premiums.
