| Additional information |
Sierra Leone has issued dozens of wildlife-themed silver dollars since the 1990s through licensed coin programs administered by foreign minting and marketing firms — the coins bear the Bank of Sierra Leone's authority but are produced entirely for the collector market, never circulating within the country. The Ankylosaurus issue is part of this broader prehistoric fauna series aimed squarely at the thematic bullion buyer.
Ankylosaurus itself died out at the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary, roughly 66 million years ago.
