GIGANOTOSAURUS - SILVER 2oz PROOF DINOSAUR COIN

Issued under the authority of the Government of Tuvalu, this silver coin
depicts a Giganotosaurus, based on an original illustration by T.
Michael Keesey, and includes the Latin inscription for Giganotosaurus
on the reverse.
The fearsome Giganotosaurus, or 'giant southern reptile', grew to about 12 -
14 metres in length and weighed in excess of seven tones - slightly
larger than Tyrannosaurus, but more primitive and occurring 30 million
years earlier. Its fossilized remains have been found in Patagonia,
Argentina, in an area noted for a number of giant herbivorous dinosaurs
on which it probably preyed.
The obverse design features the Raphael Maklouf effigy of Her Majesty
Queen Elizabeth II, the 2002-year date and the monetary denomination.
Minted and inspected by The Perth Mint, this coin was struck in silver
and comes to you complete in a display case and accompanying
Certificate of Authenticity. Only 5000 Silver Giganotosaurus coins will
be released from the Mint. The perfect gift for the dinosaur fan and an
excellent addition to your collection.
