Obverse: The obverse features the official coat of arms of the Democratic Republic of Congo, symbolizing the country’s sovereignty and the legitimacy of the issue. It includes the denomination of 20 Congolese francs, silver purity of 0.999, and a weight of 1 ounce.
Reverse: The dynamic reverse shows two predatory Carnotaurus dinosaurs chasing a herd of smaller dinosaurs. At the top, the name of the coin and the year of issue are subtly integrated into the composition. Along the upper rim is the name of the series Prehistoric Life II, and around it the three main periods of the dinosaur era – Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous – with clearly indicated geological timelines.
About the coin: This 2025 collector’s investment coin is a true treasure for numismatists and paleontology enthusiasts. It honors the Carnotaurus – a predator of the Late Cretaceous that lived in present-day South America. This 7–9 meter long theropod was known for its horns above the eyes, extremely short forelimbs, and speed.
