Megalodon reached its peak during the Miocene and Pliocene epochs, when it hunted whales, dolphins, seals, and other large marine animals in coastal and offshore waters across nearly every ocean. Scientists believe megalodon went extinct around 3.6 million years ago due to a combination of factors, including climate cooling, changing ocean currents, declining food sources as marine mammal populations shifted, and possibly competition with emerging predators like ancestral great white sharks and orcas.

All 2025 1 oz Congo Silver Prehistoric Life Megalodon Coins come housed in a protective capsule. These silver coins are struck in Brilliant Uncirculated condition and mark the fifth issue in the ongoing Prehistoric Life II Series.

The obverse of the 2025 Congo Silver Prehistoric Life Megalodon Coin shows the national coat of arms of the Democratic Republic of Congo. This emblem depicts a leopard’s head above a slab of stone, flanked by an elephant tusk on the left and a spear on the right. The imagery is surrounded by a beaded border and inscriptions identifying the coin.

On the reverse of the 2025 1 oz Silver Prehistoric Life Megalodon Coin, the immense size of this predator is displayed in a dramatic design of a megalodon attacking a blue whale, the largest living creature on Earth today. Megalodon first appeared around 23 million years ago during the Miocene epoch and thrived for millions of years in warm waters rich with prey such as marine mammals.
