2022 $10 Australian Dinosaurs - Dinosaurs Down Under C Mintmark 1/10oz Gold Proof Coin.

Since the discovery of Australia’s first dinosaur fossil in Victoria in 1903, dinosaur fossils have been found all over Australia, including Queensland, New South Wales and Western Australia.

The Royal Australian Mint celebrates Australia’s ‘terrible lizards’ with this 2022 $10 ‘C’ Mintmark Gold Proof Coin.

Featuring the fast, lightweight predator Australovenator wintonensis on the precious metal gold coin and the large-bodied ornithopod Muttaburrasaurus langdoni on the packaging, this release showcases Australia’s impressive prehistoric creatures.

Australia was located closer to the South pole at the time and the continent would have experienced cold, dark winters.

The coin's reverse commemorates Australian Dinosaurs.

The packaging features full colour illustrations along with a presentation case and numbered Certificate of Authenticity.

Each coin contains C Mintmark.

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

Each coin is issued as Australian legal tender.
