Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the coin is that the Plesiosaurus featured on the coin is a prehistoric marine reptile that lived during the time of the dinosaurs, but it is not a dinosaur itself. It is a fascinating creature that lived in the oceans during the Jurassic period, and its appearance on the coin is a unique and interesting choice.
