Interesting fact
The Plateosaurus coin from Equatorial Guinea features a unique design, showcasing a prehistoric creature that lived over 200 million years ago. The Plateosaurus was a herbivorous sauropod dinosaur that could grow up to 15 meters in length and weigh over 40 tons. Despite its massive size, it had a relatively small brain, only about the size of a tennis ball. This coin is a fascinating tribute to a remarkable creature that roamed the earth during the Triassic period.
