Description

Long before the age of Tyrannosaurus rex, another giant ruled the prehistoric world — Carcharodontosaurus, the formidable “shark-toothed lizard.” Named for its blade-like teeth resembling those of a great white shark, this apex predator dominated the Earth approximately 100 to 93 million years ago. Stretching an astonishing 12–13 meters in length and weighing up to 8 tons, it stood among the largest carnivorous dinosaurs ever to exist.

Unlike many prehistoric icons, Carcharodontosaurus remained shrouded in mystery for decades. Early fossil discoveries in the early 20th century were tragically lost during World War II, delaying scientific understanding for generations. Only groundbreaking finds in the 1990s finally restored its place in paleontological history, revealing a predator every bit as awe-inspiring as its more famous successor.

Now, that ancient power is captured in breathtaking ultra-high relief. This limited edition coin brings the massive hunter to life with extraordinary depth and detail, every contour emphasizing its raw strength and predatory precision. Most remarkable of all, each of the 999 pieces contains a genuine fossilized tooth fragment from a razor-sharp Carcharodontosaurus tooth — a tangible relic from a creature that once ruled the Cretaceous landscape.

A fusion of natural history and masterful minting, this collectible is more than a coin — it is a preserved fragment of deep time, forged for those who dare to hold prehistory in their hands.
