2023 Canada $10 2-oz Silver Ice Age Smilodon Sabre-Tooth Cat BU

Heat Up Your Collection With The First Coin In The Ice Age Series

Today’s lions, tigers, and panthers have nothing on their ancestor, the fearsome Sabre-Tooth cat, though the term “cat” seems to be some sort of paleontologist’s joke. After all, when this kitty-cat has deadly, razor-sharp fangs that measure more than 7 inches long, it’s no wonder that the scientific name for this monstrous beast is “Smilodon,” which means “scalpel tooth,” an apt description befitting the appearance of this ancient Ice Age predator. It’s also the first release in the Royal Canadian Mint’s new Ice Age coin series that shows the big cat in all its glory as if it were about to leap off the coin and slice you up for dinner!

A Dramatic Image Of An Ancient Ice Age Predator

The coin’s design shows the Sabre-Tooth Cat in mid-pounce, its huge jaws agape to expose its lethal fangs and its front paws extended with curved claws on each toe ready to sink into the flesh of its prey. Can you imagine being a prehistoric caveman and see this nightmare leaping over a boulder and all you’re armed with is a club? Struck in two full ounces of highly pure 99.99% silver, this Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) coin paints just such a scene in exquisite detail. From the big cat’s knitted brows to its long whiskers to its tawny fur, the razor-sharp images are (almost) as sharp as the beast’s fangs and claws!

About Smilodon, The Sabre-Tooth Cat

The Smilodon’s fangs were keenly adapted for precision killing. Sabre-Tooth Cats stood three feet tall at the shoulder, were about five-and-a-half feet long, and weighed up to 750 pounds. Think a land version of the Great White Shark and you’ll have a pretty good idea what prehistoric man was dealing with when he ran into one of these critters! Scientists also believe that they hunted in packs to take down large animals. At some point towards the end of the Ice Age when the climate was changing, humans found more efficient ways to deal with the animals and hunted them to extinction.
