Interesting fact
The Archaeopteryx coin from Liberia, issued in 1994, features an image of the Archaeopteryx lithographica, a prehistoric bird known for its unique combination of reptilian and avian characteristics. The coin's design is based on a well-known illustration of the Archaeopteryx by the German paleontologist and artist, Heinrich Harder. The coin's mintage was limited to 50,000 pieces, making it a sought-after collector's item among numismatists and paleontology enthusiasts.
