| Reverse description | A highly detailed relief depiction of a Triceratops in full profile walking to the right occupies the majority of the field, its three horns and neck frill rendered with naturalistic precision. The word TRICERATOPS arcs along the upper rim in bold incuse lettering. The official 'The Lost World: Jurassic Park' logo is prominently placed in the upper left field. The denomination $1 appears in the lower central exergue area beneath the dinosaur's feet. |

| Additional information |
Eritrea gained independence from Ethiopia in 1993 after a thirty-year armed struggle, and its early mint program leaned heavily on licensed commemorative issues — wildlife, dinosaurs, space — topics with zero domestic relevance but reliable export demand from collector markets in Europe and North America. This piece is a product of that strategy, not of any Eritrean monetary need.
