2022 $1 Australian Dinosaurs - Al/Br Proof Four Coin Set

2022 $1 Australian Dinosaurs - Al/Br Proof Four-Coin Set

The Australian Dinosaurs 2022 Proof Four-Coin set is housed in a illustrated boxed shipper featuring four Australian Dinosaur $1 coins produced in aluminium bronze with a proof finish.

Captured in these four aluminium bronze proof coins capture a slice of Australia's dinosaur history dating back to the Cretaceous Period - an epic 66 million to 143 million years ago!While dinosaurs' names are quite a mouthful, you're bound to recognize Australia's largest dinosaur, theDiamantinasaurus matildae, which was a whopping 16 to 20 metres long, or maybe the Kunbarrasaurus ieversi, which was covered in bony armor.

Skeletons of both these species have been found in Queensland, along with the carnivorous and frightening-looking Australovenator wintonensis. Completing the collection is anelaphrosaurine theropod, which was discovered in Victoria and thought to enjoy a plant-based diet.

Each coin gives a nod to the creatures that inhabited Australia long before humans and will no doubt be a catalyst for much discussion as collectors discover more about these magnificent animals.

Each set is housed in a full colour illustrated shipper.

The coins' obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II designed by Jody Clark.

Each coin is issued as Australian legal tender.
