In 2020, The Royal Mint celebrated one of Britain’s most remarkable scientific stories with a series of 50p coins dedicated to the discovery of dinosaurs.

The second coin in the series featured the Iguanodon – the second dinosaur ever to be scientifically named – on this official UK 50p.

The Coloured Silver Proof Iguanodon 50p

This is no ordinary version of the 2020 Iguanodon 50p.

Struck in Silver Proof quality, the coin combines a precious-metal specification with colour printing technology, bringing the prehistoric creature to life and highlighting the intricate detail of the design.

And importantly for collectors, this special edition was produced in strictly limited numbers.

JUST 7,000 AVAILABLE WORLDWIDE

Only 7,000 individual Iguanodon Coloured Silver Proof 50ps were authorised for release worldwide.

That makes this a significantly more limited edition than the standard versions of the coin – and one created specifically with collectors in mind.

Silver Proof 50ps have also proved particularly popular with collectors over the years, with some previous issues selling out rapidly at The Royal Mint.

This colourful prehistoric 50p remains an impressive piece from The Royal Mint’s celebrated dinosaur series, and we still have a limited number available for collectors to secure today.
