Description
The Royal Mint’s journey through the prehistoric world of the dinosaurs concludes with the third and final coin in its Dinosaurs: Iconic Specimens collection. Dedicated to one of the most recognisable dinosaurs of all, the latest design features the legendary Diplodocus in all its long-necked glory.
A truly iconic specimen, Diplodocus was one of the longest dinosaurs to exist and has been a common sight in literature, TV and film for more than 100 years. Now, The Royal Mint celebrates this iconic specimen with a coin dedicated to this incredibly long prehistoric herbivore.
Designed by palaeo-artist Robert Nicholls, the man behind the reverse designs for both The Royal Mint’s Dinosauria and Mary Anning collections, with guidance from Professor Paul Barrett of the
Natural History Museum, this coin features the sizeable sauropod on full display, from its winding neck to its twisting tail, accompanied by the Diplodocus skeleton in the foreground
