SUE was found in 1990 in South Dakota, and 90 per cent of her survives. At 28 years she was the oldest T. rex known.
No human has ever seen this animal alive: the age of the dinosaurs ended 66 million years ago, and the human genus has existed for about 2.8 million years.

A Design with Primal Power – the Substance is Fine Gold
The design side shows the Tyrannosaurus Rex, one of the most famous carnivores in Earth's history, which lived around 66 million years ago in the late Cretaceous period. Above the striking skull runs the inscription "TYRANNOSAURUS REX", with the fossilized footprint displayed beneath it. The reverse side bears the national coat of arms of the Republic of Chad, flanked by the inscriptions "RÉPUBLIQUE DU TCHAD", the face value "3000 FRANCS CFA" and the fineness indication "999/1000 FINE GOLD". As impressive as this design may be – it remains a personal touch. The true substance of this coin is the fine gold.
A Small Amount of Gold, Genuine Investment Character
Even small gold coins are fully-fledged investment gold. Their value is based on the precious metal they contain and moves in line with the gold price – independent of the face value stamped on them. Those who regularly acquire small amounts build up wealth step by step that accumulates over the years. Gold is humanity's oldest currency, a proven store of value for over 6,000 years, and thanks to its intrinsic value, has never been worth zero.
- Value preservation: Physical gold protects against loss of purchasing power and serves as a proven inflation hedge.
- Crisis protection: As a tangible asset, gold offers crisis protection in politically and economically uncertain times.
- Liquidity: Gold is recognized worldwide, highly liquid, and can be converted back into cash at any time.
- Wealth transfer: Small gold coins can be conveniently stored and passed down through generations.
Give Investment Gold with Character
This edition is excellently suited as a gift of genuine investment gold for christenings, birthdays, or Christmas. What is given here is not a mere souvenir but an asset made of pure fine gold. Despite the personal occasion, you are acquiring fully-fledged, minted gold whose value is recognized on the world market and tracks the gold price.
Comparison: T-Rex Gold Coin and Other Small Gold Mintages
Among the Chad issues with 1/1,000 oz of fine gold, the Tyrannosaurus Rex is one of the most popular designs – comparable to other animal and themed mintages within the same series. The advantage of this very small denomination lies in the low entry amount: this allows physical gold to be accumulated in manageable steps. Those seeking larger amounts of gold at the troy ounce price should supplement with classic bullion coins or bars; however, as a handy, decoratively designed addition to a physical gold holding, the T-Rex gold coin fully demonstrates its strengths.
The largest gold holders in the world are the central banks – a clear signal of the significance physical gold holds as a reserve.
In Germany, profits from the sale of physical gold are generally tax-free after a holding period of at least one year – an aspect that makes physical gold investment additionally attractive. Thus, the Gold Tyrannosaurus Rex coin combines a fascinating design with the tangible substance of one of humanity's oldest and most enduring stores of value.
