The coelophysis was placed in a genus of Coelurus by Edward Drinker Cope in 1887 and the creature was later described in greater detail in 1889. The coelophysis is a theropod dinosaur that lived between 216 and 196 million years ago during what was known as the Triassic Period. However, scattered samples of the creature have also been found in geologic formations that date to the Late Triassic and even Early Jurassic Periods.

The coelophysis species is depicted on the obverse design of the 2020 1 oz Silver South African Natura Coelophysis Coin. Two of these creatures stand along the shores of a large body of water in this design.
