2022 Republic of Chad 3 oz .9999 Silver Tyrannosaurus Dissected Antiqued Coin

The T-Rex has been one of the most popular dinosaurs since its discovery in 1874. Popular culture has always been focused on the speed and prowess of these dinosaurs as predators. The sheer size of these monstrous dinosaurs has always been a key feature of the fascination with their existence. This dinosaur has also more recently become associated with comics making fun of their short front legs compared to their powerful and long hind legs. The T-Rex has staying power in the popular imagination and if collectors have seen one of the many full skeletons that are in museums in the US, they will know why.

The 2022 Antique Republic of Chad Silver Tyrannosaurus Dissected Coin provides an equally iconic shaped coin design to match the majesty of its subject matter. Shipping in a themed case with its own Certificate of Authenticity, this extraordinary coin provides three full ounces of pure silver and features finely-detailed engraving highlighted by an antique finish.

The obverse side presents a “dissected” view of the dinosaur that shows aspects of its skeletal and muscular structures. Inscriptions of the year and country of issue and the coin’s face value appear at the center of mass.

The coin’s reverse side is a realistic sculpture of the dinosaur with a scaly hide intact, with the inscription “Tyrannosaurus Dissected” appearing on its gracefully curved tail.
