Euparkeria capensis is one of the many creatures in the greater Archosaur species. Living representatives of the archosaur species include modern crocodiles and countless different species of birds. The archosaurs dominated the planet during the Triassic Period and their extinction preceded the rise of larger dinosaurs.

Obverse

A fossilized dinosaur skull is featured in right-profile relief on the obverse of 2019 South African Natura Euparkeria 1 oz Silver Coins. All of the coins in the Natura Rise of the Dinosaurs paleontology-themed collection have the same obverse design. Here, the dinosaurs skull is featured above inscriptions of Rise of the Dinosaurs, South Africa, MMXIX as the Roman numeral date mark, and Archosauria.

Reverse

Euparkeria capensis was a small reptile with bird-like and reptile features. It is found here on the 2019 South African Natura Euparkeria 1 oz Silver Coins. You can see the bird-like elements of the archosaur species as it jumps on its hind legs like a small bird reaching out for a meal. However, its other physical characteristics are similar to reptiles like the modern crocodile. Inscriptions read 25 Rand, Natura, Euparkeria, and 1 oz Ag 999.

History
