Lettering: THE AGE OF THE DINOSAURS - THE STEGOSAURUS

Interesting fact

The Stegosaurus coin from Burkina Faso has a unique feature - it has a built-in magnifying glass effect. When held at a certain angle, the coin's reflective surface creates a magnified image of the Stegosaurus, making it appear larger and more detailed than it actually is. This effect is achieved through a technique called "micro-engraving," which involves engraving tiny details onto the coin's surface using specialized tools and techniques. This feature adds an extra layer of interest and beauty to an already stunning coin.
