| Reverse description | A highly detailed, three-dimensional rendering of a Sinraptor skull fossil dominates the field, depicted in left-facing profile with open jaws revealing serrated teeth. The cranial fenestrae and bone structure are rendered with exceptional paleontological precision, conveying the texture of fossilized remains. A small decorative spiral motif, evocative of a nautilus shell, appears between the two principal legends. The arched legend 'EVOLUTION' curves along the upper left rim, and the date '2019' appears at upper right. The species name 'Sinraptor' is inscribed in italic script at the lower right of the field. |

| Additional information |
Part of Mongolia's long-running prehistoric fauna series, which has drawn collector interest well beyond the usual dinosaur-themed novelty market. Sinraptor dongi, the species almost certainly referenced here, was recovered from the Shishugou Formation in Xinjiang — not Mongolia proper — making its appearance on a Mongolian issue a mild geographic liberty, though the broader Central Asian paleontological connection is defensible.
