Comment

Apatosaurus was a genus of herbivorous that lived about 152 to 151 million years ago, was very big and heavy, esteemed average 21 to 23 meters long, and mass 16 to 22 tons.
Name from Greek means deceptive lizard, as neck and tail were too long, and at first glance would not be obvious which was the front of the animal.

Interesting fact

The Apatosaurus coin from Cuba is a unique and interesting collector's item, as it features a dinosaur that is not commonly depicted on coins. Additionally, the fact that it is made of gold and has a relatively low mintage of 5,000 pieces makes it a valuable and sought-after collectible among numismatists and dinosaur enthusiasts.
