DINOSAURIA: HYLAEOSAURUS (ROYAL MINT)
The third and last of the Royal Mint’s excellent 50p dinosaur coin set is available to purchase from today and rounds out what has been an attractive trio. Produced in conjunction with the Natural History Museum in London, the coins depict the beast in colour, with a close up of a fossil, also in colour, and some un-coloured flora in the background field. The name of an early palaeontologist sits proudly at the bottom.
The coins are the first from the Royal Mint to use Augmented Reality, using your smartphone to display exclusive multimedia content when you’ve scanned the barcode on the packaging. The mint also has a new ‘dig’ page on their site just for the kids. Available in gold, silver and base metal. Check out our original article at the link below for more details. Hopefully, this series will be back next year.
