| Additional information |
Eritrea declared independence from Ethiopia in May 1993 after a 30-year armed struggle, and almost immediately began issuing collector coinage — not for domestic circulation, but as a revenue stream for a government that had essentially no foreign reserves. The Triceratops issue was part of that first wave, produced under contract by a foreign mint and aimed squarely at the international numismatic and bullion collector market.
Eritrea has no known fossil record of Triceratops. The subject was chosen purely for commercial appeal.
