The Dinosauria Collection

For dinosaurs roamed the planet earth millions of years before they became extinct.

Fossilised remains lay buried underground until they are unearthed by land slips or people digging.

In 1842, a British Anatomist Richard Owen was the first person to realise that the remains of three creatures discovered in England, Megalosaurus, Iguanodon, and Hylaeosaurus, all shared common characteristics.

In a paper published in 1842, he named this new group of animals ‘Dinosauria’.

This was the spark for a worldwide fascination with these creatures that continues to the present day.

The Dinosauria Collection is an exciting new series celebrating this landmark British discovery.

Featuring each creature that led Owen to his groundbreaking conclusion in turn, this is the first time dinosaurs have featured on official UK coins and the series starts with Megalosaurus.

All three dinosaurs have been brought back to life by palaeo-artist Robert Nicholls with the expert guidance of the Earth Sciences Department of the Natural History Museum.

Available as a limited-edition gold and silver Proof, colour-printed silver Proof, colour-printed Brilliant Uncirculated and standard Brilliant Uncirculated edition, the coins in this collection perfectly encapsulate the wonder that dinosaurs inspire in people of all ages.

Dinosauria 50p Coin Collection
Dinosauria 50p Coin CollectionMegalosaurus

For more than 160 million years, dinosaurs walked the earth before they suddenly disappeared. Buried in rock, their fossilised remains laid undisturbed until the ground was ready to yield its secrets. The story of their discovery and description begins in Britain.

Megalosaurus was one of the largest predators of the Middle Jurassic period, 170–155 million years ago.

Growing up to nine metres long and three metres tall, Megalosaurus was a theropod.

Walking upright, it used its mobile hands to grab its prey.
