1993 Diplodocus 7000 Francos Fine Silver Proof Coin

The 1993 Equatorial Guinea Diplodocus 7000 Francos Silver Coin is a remarkable release from the historic Jurassic Dinosaurs Series. Celebrated by numismatists as part of one of the world’s first mint-coloured silver coin collections, this piece captures the wonder of prehistoric history in a vibrant, artistic format. Struck from 99.9% fine silver, this coin beautifully bridges the worlds of natural science and premium world coin collecting.

The obverse design showcases a detailed, beautifully colorised Diplodocus navigating a prehistoric landscape against a striking backdrop of an erupting volcano and ancient flora. The rim is clearly inscribed with the series title, “JURASSIC DINOSAURS,” and the specific subject, “DIPLODOCUS.” The reverse features the official coat of arms for the Republic of Equatorial Guinea, showcasing a silk-cotton tree within a shield under six stars, alongside the national motto “UNIDAD PAZ JUSTICIA” and the 7000 Francos face value.

This proof-quality coin offers unique diversity to silver stackers while serving as an eye-catching centerpiece for thematic collectors. Given their age and historical status as early colorised mint releases, these coins are generally pre-owned and selected for resale where they are in suitable condition, offering a fascinating combination of numismatic rarity and precious metal content.
