Comment
Tyrannosaurus is a genus of coelurosaurian theropod dinosaur. The species Tyrannosaurus rex (rex meaning "king" in Latin), often called T. rex or colloquially T-Rex, is one of the most well-represented of the large theropods. Tyrannosaurus lived throughout what is now western North America, on what was then an island continent known as Laramidia. Tyrannosaurus had a much wider range than other tyrannosaurids. Fossils are found in a variety of rock formations dating to the Maastrichtian age of the upper Cretaceous period, 68 to 66 million years ago. It was the last known member of the tyrannosaurids, and among the last non-avian dinosaurs to exist before the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event.Interesting fact

The coin's obverse side features the coin's denomination and the Austrian coat of arms, while the reverse side features a stunning depiction of the Tyrannosaurus Rex in all its glory. The coin's copper-nickel composition gives it a distinctive color and durability, making it a valuable addition to any coin collection.
