The Plateosaurus was a herbivorous dinosaur that lived during the Late Triassic period approximately 217 to 201 million years ago. It was one of the early long-necked dinosaurs and, depending on its age and species, reached a length of several metres. Its characteristic features included a comparatively small head, a long neck, powerful hind legs and a long tail. Plateosaurus fossils have mainly been found in Europe, including numerous significant discoveries in Germany. It was probably able to move both on all fours and, at times, on its hind legs. The limited premium bullion coin is delivered in a protective capsule.
