{{/presale}} {{#promotion_on}}The Prehistoric Life II Series continues its run in 2025 with the fifth coin, featuring the ancient predator known as megalodon. This shark species, also referred to as Otodus megalodon or Carcharocles megalodon, was one of the largest hunters to ever exist, roaming oceans millions of years ago. You can now order the 2025 1/2 Gram Proof Congo Gold Prehistoric Life Megalodon Coin from BGASC.
Highlights:
Each 2025 1/2 Gram Proof Congo Gold Prehistoric Life Megalodon Coin is delivered in a secure protective capsule. Struck in proof quality, these coins combine frosted details with polished fields for strong visual contrast. This marks the fifth release in the Prehistoric Life II Series.
Obverse
The obverse of the 2025 Proof Congo Gold Prehistoric Life Megalodon Coin shows the national coat of arms of the Democratic Republic of Congo. This emblem includes a leopards head above a stone tablet, flanked by an elephant tusk and a spear. Around the edge, engravings and a beaded border complete the design.
Reverse
On the reverse of the 2025 1/2 Gram Proof Gold Prehistoric Life Megalodon Coin, the ancient shark is pictured ready to consume a blue whale, a scene meant to illustrate its overwhelming size. Megalodon first appears in fossil records around 23 million years ago, during the Early Miocene, and thrived in oceans filled with prey for millions of years.
History
Megalodon was an apex predator, possibly reaching lengths of 50 to 60 feet or more, with massive teeth far larger than those of todays great white shark. Though it has been extinct for around 3.6 million years, megalodon continues to be studied by scientists and remains a popular subject in media and culture.
