| Additional information |
Phorusrhacids — colloquially "terror birds" — were apex predators across South America for roughly 60 million years following the extinction of non-avian dinosaurs, reaching heights of up to 3 meters before the formation of the Isthmus of Panama introduced competing placental carnivores. Mongolia has no paleontological connection to the family whatsoever; this is a pure bullion-collectible play by the Mongol Bank, which has issued a long series of fractional gold coins featuring prehistoric fauna unrelated to Central Asian natural history.
