{{/presale}} {{#promotion_on}}After the success of the first Prehistoric Life coin series, a second series was launched in 2024 to introduce even more ancient creatures. The Prehistoric Life II Series includes coins like the Utahraptor, one of the most impressive members of the raptor family. Measuring up to 23 feet in length and weighing as much as 1,500 pounds, this dinosaur lived during the Early Cretaceous period. BGASC now offers the 2024 1/2 Gram Proof Congo Gold Utahraptor Coin.
Highlights:
Each 2024 1/2 Gram Proof Congo Gold Utahraptor Coin comes safely housed in a plastic capsule. This issue follows the Triceratops and Suchomimus in the Prehistoric Life II lineup. The coin features a proof finish with frosted details set against mirrored backgrounds for strong contrast.
Obverse
The obverse of the 2024 Proof Congo Gold Utahraptor Coin presents the official coat of arms of the Democratic Republic of Congo. At the center is a forward-facing leopards head, shown above a rock slab. An elephant tusk and a spear are placed on either side of the slab.
Reverse
On the reverse side, the Utahraptor is featured in a detailed rendering. Although many dinosaurs are often shown with scaly skin, the Utahraptor may have had feathers. While no direct fossil evidence has confirmed this, its close relatives were feathered, so its likely the Utahraptor had some form of feathering for warmth or display.
History
Utahraptors were large predators that roamed what is now eastern Utah about 125 million years ago. Compared to the much smaller Velociraptor, the Utahraptor was huge and had long, curved clawseach up to 15 inchesthat were likely used to capture prey.
