20 Cents - Elizabeth II Tarbosaurus

正面描述	Within a raised circular border, the right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II after Ian Rank-Broadley occupies the central field, with the Samoa coat of arms positioned below. Surrounding the portrait circle, silhouetted representations of all dinosaur subjects from the series are arranged in a continuous band, with the silhouette corresponding to the Tarbosaurus coin selectively gold-plated to distinguish it from the others. The legends ELIZABETH II, SAMOA, and 20 CENTS appear around the design.

附加信息	Samoa has issued a steady stream of numismatic collector pieces through the New Zealand Mint under licensing arrangements, and this release falls squarely in that category. Tarbosaurus bataar — the Asian cousin of Tyrannosaurus rex — was first described from Mongolian Gobi Desert specimens recovered by Soviet paleontological expeditions in the 1940s and 1950s, though its taxonomic relationship to T. rex has been disputed for decades. The partial gilding on these issues is applied after striking, a process that has raised questions in some collector circles about long-term adhesion on copper substrates at this weight class.
