The Euparkeria may be the most unique prehistoric creature to showcase in the South African Natura Series from the South African Mint. The Euparkeria is a broad group of diapsid amniotes that include both birds and crocodilians as modern representatives of the group. The first design from the Natura Series, the Euparkeria is available to you today. Now, 2019 1 oz South African Natura Euparkeria Silver Coins are available to you for purchase online from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Euparkerias dominated the landscape of Southern Africa more than 200 million years ago during the Triassic Period. The species is believed to have arisen during either the Permian or Triassic Period of life on Earth, but the consensus from the fossil record is that this broad species increased its distribution during the Triassic Period.
The specific member of the Euparkeria species featured in this design is the Euparkeria capensis. A reptile, the creature lived about 235 million years ago during the Middle Triassic Period and when you look at it, you can see the elements of both its living representatives. Birds and crocodilians are related to this creature and you can see it in the bird-like figure and reptilian features of the beast.
On the obverse of all coins in the 2019 South African Natura Silver Coin release is the massive fossilized skull of a dinosaur. Depicted in right-profile relief, the creature’s skull is depicted with the official name of the coin series as “Rise of the Dinosaurs,” with a date mark in Roman numerals rather than Arabic numerals.
The reverse of 2019 1 oz South African Natura Euparkeria Silver Coins bears the image of an Euparkeria capensis chasing down its meal. The beast lunges upward from its powerful hind legs to try and snatch its meal with its powerful jaws and sharp teeth.
These 2019 1 oz South African Natura Silver Coins are available to purchase in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. The 1 oz silver coins are individually housed inside of themed blistercards with detailed information on the creature depicted in this release.
