The 2021 Temnodontosaurus Gold Proof 50p is one of the standout releases in the acclaimed Royal Mint Jurassic Dinosaur series. Struck in flawless gold proof quality, this beautifully detailed coin celebrates one of Britain’s most fascinating prehistoric marine reptiles, made famous through the scientific work of Mary Anning and the rich fossil discoveries along the Jurassic Coast.
This collectible issue forms part of the three coin Dinosauria series and remains one of the lowest mintage modern UK gold proofs of recent years. The Temnodontosaurus design features exceptional depth, strong detailing and the sharp polished devices that define the Royal Mint’s gold proof standard.
Perfect for collectors of British scientific history, palaeontology themed coinage and low mintage modern UK gold proofs, this boxed 2021 50p is increasingly sought after as supplies tighten and long term collectors complete their Jurassic series sets.

Why This Coin Appeals to Collectors.
The Jurassic series sits among the most distinctive modern Royal Mint thematic ranges and the gold versions were produced in far smaller quantities than the standard strikes. With many buyers building full sets of the three designs, demand for Temnodontosaurus pieces has steadily risen. Its educational significance, strong design work and short production run all contribute to its long term desirability.
For collectors seeking rare British themed gold proofs with strong crossover appeal, the Temnodontosaurus 2021 Gold Proof 50p remains one of the key low mintage releases of the decade.

Buying New or Preowned Gold and Silver

While preowned items may show minor signs of wear, such as scratches, milk spots or tarnishing, they are sold strictly as bullion, with their precious metal content fully guaranteed. Whether you choose new or preowned, you can be confident in the quality and authenticity of our products.
