Own the Official UK Plesiosaurus 50p in Flawless Silver Proof…
65 million years on from their extinction, our fascination with dinosaurs, our most awe-inspiring pre-historic ancestors, is as strong as ever.
The world of dinosaurs has been explored extensively and now this is continued with The Mary Anning Collection - a three-part 50p collection celebrating the discoveries she made along what is now known as the Jurassic Coast!
Today, you can own the official UK Plesiosaurus 50p coin in superb silver!
UK 50p coin series
One of Britain’s greatest fossil hunters, Mary Anning, made a series of remarkable finds. The fossil reptiles she uncovered helped scientists identify and understand mighty creatures that once ruled the seas and skies, but as a working-class woman she was denied academic acclaim.
The three-part Mary Anning Collection now continues with a coin featuring Plesiosaurus, a long-necked predator that was discovered in 1823 and terrorised ancient oceans.
Each coin in the collection was designed by renowned British palaeo-artist Robert Nicholls with the expert guidance of Sandra Chapman of the Natural History Museum, London.
