Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1993 Equatorial Guinea 7000 Francos CFA (Plateosaurus) silver coin is that it features a unique design that showcases the country's rich wildlife heritage. The coin's obverse side features an image of a Plateosaurus, a type of sauropod dinosaur that lived during the Late Triassic period, while the reverse side features an image of a leopard, a symbol of power and strength in many African cultures. This coin is a great example of how numismatics can be used to celebrate and raise awareness about a country's natural history and cultural heritage.
