Following the success of the Prehistoric Life Series of gold and silver coins, a secondary series was introduced to showcase even more prehistoric life. The Prehistoric Life II Series launched in 2024 and features among its dinosaurs the Utahraptor. The Utahraptor ranks among the largest members of the dromaeosaurid family, commonly known as “raptors,” with an estimated length of up to 23 feet and a weight ranging from 1,000 to 1,500 pounds. Right now, 2024 1/2 Gram Proof Congo Gold Utahraptor Coins are available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Each of the 2024 1/2 Gram Proof Congo Gold Utahraptor Coins comes with a protective plastic capsule. These coins are third in the Prehistoric Life II Series behind the Triceratops and the Suchomimus. These coins have frosted designs and mirrored fields.
Utahraptors were carnivores that roamed the region that is now eastern Utah during the Early Cretaceous period, around 125 million years ago. In contrast to the smaller and more widely recognized Velociraptor, which was roughly the size of a modern-day turkey, the Utahraptor was a giant by comparison, equipped with a prominent curved claw on each foot that could reach up to 15 inches long, an ideal weapon for taking down prey.
The obverse side of 2024 Proof Congo Gold Utahraptor Coins comes with a depiction of the national coat of arms for the Democratic Republic of Congo. This seal features a leopard’s head at the center in front-facing relief. This head is set above a slab of rock with an elephant tusk to one side and a spear to the other.
On the reverse of 2024 1/2 Gram Proof Gold Utahraptors is an image of the powerful raptor. While many depictions of dinosaurs feature scaly skin, the Utahraptor was likely feathered. Although direct feather evidence hasn’t been recovered for this species, its close relationship to confirmed feathered dinosaurs suggests it bore primitive feathers or protofeathers. These would have helped regulate body temperature and may have served in courtship displays or species identification.
