The UK’s first dinosaur coinsĮxcitingly, these are the first ever UK dinosaur coins and collectors have been very excited for these roarsome coins to be let loose! However, much of the anatomy of this dinosaur is still unknown due to the fact that very limited remains have been found. Hylaeosaurus was an armoured dinosaur with at least three long spines along its shoulders. After Megalosaurus, these were the second type of dinosaur to be formally recognised. Iguanodon were large herbivores with distinctive thumb-like spikes. ‘Megalosaurus’ is Greek for ‘great lizard’ and at seven to eight metres long it certainly lives up to its name! In 1676 the first Megalosurus bone was discovered in Oxfordshire and publication of the find is thought to make this dinosaur the very first to be described in scientific literature. Three designs were announced, including the Megalosaurus, Iguanodon, and Hylaeosaurus. 2020 Dinosauria 50p Series Three dino themed 50ps
