| Additional information |
Eritrea gained independence from Ethiopia in 1993 after a thirty-year war, and the newly established Bank of Eritrea almost immediately began issuing collector-oriented gold and silver pieces — a strategy less about domestic monetary policy than about generating foreign currency revenue through numismatic sales. The Jurassic Park tie-in dates to the mid-1990s licensing wave that followed Spielberg's 1993 film, when a number of small or newly sovereign nations struck themed issues under commercial licensing arrangements.
These were sold primarily through overseas distributors, never intended for Eritrean circulation.
