We have no further information yet but will soon expand this page.

This coin is part of the "Evolution of Life" collection.

The series features select fossils from various geologic periods, in one large silver and one small gold format. Each silver issue shows a rose-gold plated fossil, typical of the respective geological period, partially excavated on an antique finish rock matrix background. The gold coin motifs mirror those of the larger silver coins, if in reduced complexity and design. Instead of a partially excavated fossil on a rock matrix background, the little coins show the isolated fossil on a proof surface with English name, year of issue and series name. Despite their small size, the minting is incredibly rich in detail.

The Mint says about this coin:

This year’s ANA release out of our Evolution of Life series can be considered a “new” dinosaur as the Sinraptor was discovered only 32 years ago in China with an almost complete skeleton. The name Sinraptor comes from the Latin prefix "Sino", meaning Chinese, and "Raptor" meaning robber. The fossil discovered in China measures 3 m in height and 7.5 m in length. Sinraptor was estimated to have weighed over a ton! A 150 million years ago the Sinraptor may have hunted other medium sized dinosaurs.
