Discover the fifth and final release in the Australian Age of Dinosaurs five-coin series showcasing the remarkable prehistoric creatures that roamed Australia during the Cretaceous Period between 112 and 102 million years ago. This pure silver coin features the Muttaburrasaurus: a genus of ornithopod dinosaur first discovered by Doug Langdon on a property near Muttaburra, Queensland. Among its most distinctive features, the Muttaburrasaurus possessed a skull marked by a large, bulbous, and hollow chambered snout. Paleontologists believe this nasal structure acted as a natural resonator, amplifying the dinosaur's calls. The reverse design depicts a polished silver Muttaburrasaurus in the foreground against a colorized prehistoric backdrop. Show more
