| Reverse description | Central inner disk displays a full-colour polychrome effigy of a Triceratops dinosaur in left-facing profile, depicted in naturalistic detail with its characteristic three-horned frill and stocky body, set against a stylised prehistoric landscape featuring palm-like foliage in the background. The species name TRICERATOPS appears in raised lettering across the upper portion of the inner field. The outer gold-toned ring carries the series title DINOSAURIOS DEL MUNDO arcing across the upper legend and the date 2013 prominently displayed along the lower legend in raised capital letters. |

The Monte Montesclaros series issued by Spain's Royal Mint paired local heritage sites with prehistoric fauna in a format aimed squarely at the collector market — the triceratops connection to Toledo province is geological rather than folkloric, referencing Cretaceous fossil beds found across the Iberian Peninsula.
