| Obverse description | The obverse bears a highly detailed high-relief rendering of the skull of an archosaurian reptile, depicted in left profile and occupying the upper two-thirds of the field, conveying a powerful prehistoric aesthetic. The finely engraved fossil-like cranium displays prominent teeth, orbital cavities, and textured bone structure against a lightly stippled background suggestive of rocky terrain. Inscribed in bold serif lettering across the lower field are the legends RISE OF THE DINOSAURS and SOUTH AFRICA, with the Roman numeral date M M X I X positioned below. A horizontal line separates the lower exergue, within which the taxonomic classification ARCHOSAURIA is inscribed in smaller capitals. |
