In the obverse of the 2024 1/2 Gram Gold Prehistoric Life Suchomimus Coin, the mint features the coat of arms of Congo. The Democratic Republic of Congo’s national seal consists of a slab of rock with an elephant tusk and a spear rising from the base. Between these two symbols is the front-facing head of a leopard.
For the reverse design of 2024 Proof Congo Gold Prehistoric Life Suchomimus Coins, you’ll find the image of the creature. The design field includes a lush jungle setting in the background, with a river snaking from the foreground around the terrain and off into the distance. There are two creatures depicted within the field.
The skull of Suchomimus was remarkably adapted for its piscivorous (fish-eating) lifestyle. Its long, narrow snout was lined with over 100 straight, conical teeth, perfect for catching and holding onto slippery fish. The tip of its snout featured a small notch that may have helped it sense movement in the water, similar to modern crocodiles. These adaptations suggest that Suchomimus spent a significant amount of time near water bodies, hunting for aquatic prey.
These 2024 1/2 Gram Proof Congo Gold Prehistoric Life Suchomimus Coins are available with protective plastic capsules. Each proof specimen has frosted designs with mirrored fields. This coin is the smallest in the series and shares the smallest mintage figure, 2,000 coins, with its 1 oz colorized counterpart.
