2017 Mongolia 1-oz Silver Ichthyosaur Antique Finish

A Great Option for Dinosaur Enthusiasts!

Over 100 million years ago, dinosaurs roamed the earth. While most people think of them as massive reptiles bearing little resemblance to modern animals, this was not the case with all of them. To the contrary, some dinosaurs were very similar to animals that are around today. This may be due either to convergent evolution or just similar environments leading to the development of similar traits. Whatever the case may be, the ichthyosaur closely resembled modern day dolphins. This ichthyosaur coin features a design of a fossil of the ancient, extinct creature.
