Description

Prehistoric Life II. (2.) - Suchomimus
0.5 Gram Gold - Proof

  • 2nd Issue in the Prehistoric Life II Series
  • 99.99% pure Gold
  • Mintage only 2,000 pieces
  • Delivery in Capsule

The second issue of the Series Prehistoric Life II from the Congo is dedicated to the dinosaur Suchomimus. The motive of the coin struck from 0.5 gram 99.99% pure gold shows two Suchomimus in a prehistoric landscape. The front dinosaur is gulping a freshly caught fish down its throat and the rear one has its snout wide open and is roaring loudly. The inscriptions “PREHISTORIC LIFE”, “SUCHOMIMUS”, “126.3 - 113 MIO YEARS BC” and the year of issue 2024 can be seen above the dinosaur. The reverse depicts the coat of arms of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Suchomimus belongs to the Spinosauridae family, a group of carnivorous dinosaurs known for their crocodile-like skulls and long, narrow snouts. The name “Suchomimus” means “crocodile mimic”, referring to the similarity of its skull to that of a crocodile. Compared to other theropods, Suchomimus had some unique features: Its front legs were strong and bore large, hooked claws that were probably used to catch prey, possibly including fish. Suchomimus' build was robust, with a long, flat tail that may have contributed to its stability in the water. Its snout was studded with numerous conical teeth, which were ideal for grabbing and holding slippery prey. Another striking feature of Suchomimus was a low but long sail crest along its back, which consisted of elongated spinous processes of the vertebrae. The Suchomimus 0.5 gram gold proof coin is delivered in a protective capsule.
