1 Dollar - Elizabeth II 6th Portrait - Australian Dinosaurs, Elaphrosaurus, Silver Proof

Elaphrosaurus bambergi is known almost entirely from a single incomplete skeleton excavated in Tanzania in 1910 during the German Tendaguru expeditions — one of the most productive dinosaur digs of the early twentieth century. Its classification remained contested for decades, shuffled between ceratosaurs and ornithomimosaurs before phylogenetic analysis settled it among the abelisauroids. The Australian Dinosaurs series draws on creatures with genuine fossil records tied to the continent, though Elaphrosaurus itself is a Gondwanan genus, reflecting the shared prehistoric landmass rather than a strictly Australian find.
