This 2024 1-ounce Congo Silver “Prehistoric Life” Suchomimus coin is offered in colorized, Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition, securely housed in a capsule. Suchomimus, whose name translates to “crocodile mimic,” was a large theropod dinosaur that lived around 125 to 112 million years ago, during the Early Cretaceous period. This dinosaur roamed the tropical regions of what is now Niger in Africa. Its elongated snout and sharp teeth gave it a striking resemblance to modern crocodiles.
On the obverse of the 2024 Suchomimus coin, you’ll find the coat of arms of Congo. This emblem includes a leopard’s head in front-facing relief, positioned above a rock slab. The design is flanked by a spear on one side and an elephant tusk on the other.
The reverse side of the 2024 Suchomimus coin showcases the mighty subject of this issue. The dinosaur is depicted near a body of water, with its head raised high. In the background, a river winds through a lush, jungle-like setting, with sandbars extending into the water.
