Interesting fact
The Velociraptor coin from Sierra Leone is a unique collector's item, as it features a velociraptor in a running pose, with one claw outstretched, as if it's about to pounce on its prey. The coin's design is so detailed that you can even see the individual feathers on the raptor's body. Additionally, the coin's silver content and limited mintage make it a valuable addition to any coin collection.
