The 2021 50 Pence Coin - Mary Anning Collection: Dimorphodon (Colourised)The third coin of the Mary Anning Collection is the Dimorphodon.
The Dimorphodon was a type of medium-sized pterosaur which lived in the early Jurassic Period, about 200 million years ago. It had a wingspan of 1.4m and a body length of 1m.
The Dimorphodon was the first flying reptile to be discovered in Britain. The fossil remains were found by Mary Anning at Lyme Regis (Dorset) in December 1828, and later identified by palaeontologist Richard Owen in 1859.
The Mary Anning Collection of 50p coins is part of the Royal Mint Tales of the Earth series. Mary Anning (1799-1847) was an English fossil collector, dealer and palaeontologist. She discovered many marine fossils from the Jurassic period by searching the cliffs around the English Channel in Dorset (England). Mary's discoveries helped form the scientific thinking behind prehistoric life history.
The Reverse shows an image of the Dimorphodon and was designed by Robert Nicholls.
