Comment
Spinosaurus (meaning "spine lizard") is a genus of theropod dinosaur that lived in what now is North Africa, during the upper Albian to upper Turonian stages of the Cretaceous period, about 112 to 93.5 million years ago. This genus was known first from Egyptian remains discovered in 1912 and described by German paleontologist Ernst Stromer in 1915.Interesting fact
The Spinosaurus depicted on the coin is a unique species of dinosaur that had a distinctive spiny sail on its back, which was likely used for display purposes.
