Interesting fact
The Tyrannosaurus Rex depicted on the coin is based on a real-life T-Rex fossil discovered in the 1990s in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The fossil, known as "Stan," is considered one of the most well-preserved T-Rex fossils ever found, and it is now housed at the University of Chicago's Field Museum. The coin's design was created in collaboration with paleontologists to ensure that it accurately represents the T-Rex's appearance.
