2020 Congo 1 oz .999 Silver Prehistoric Life | Mamenchisaurus
- 3rd Issue in the Prehistoric Life Series
- 99.99% pure Silver
- Mintage only 10,000 pieces
The third issue of the series “Prehistoric Life” from the Congo is dedicated to the Mamenchisaurus. The Premium Bullion Coin struck from one ounce of 99.99% pure silver features a depiction of two Mamenchisaurus and a pterosaurus in a primeval landscape. The inscriptions “MAMENCHISAURUS”, “160 – 145 MIO YEARS BC” and the year of issue 2020 are also shown. The motive is framed by the title of the series “PREHISTORIC LIFE” as well as a timeline indicating the prehistoric epochs Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous. The reverse features the coat of arms of the Democratic Republic of Congo. The herbivore Mamenchisaurus lived in China during the Upper Jurassic period and is especially known for its extremely long neck, which consisted of up to 19 cervical vertebrae. The neck thus made up about half of the total length of the dinosaur, which could reach up to 22 metres. Fossil remains of the large sauropod were first found in 1952 on a road construction site in Sichuan province.
