2022 $1 Australian Dinosaurs - Uncirculated Four Coin Collection

2022 $1 Australian Dinosaurs - Uncirculated Four-Coin Collection

The Australian Dinosaurs 2022 uncirculated Four-Coin Collection is housed in a folder featuring four Australian Dinosaur $1 coins produced in aluminium bronze.

Captured in these four aluminium bronze coins is 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, the Diamantinasaurus 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 pack.

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

Each coin is issued as Australian legal tender.
