A collectable 50p coin celebrating the diplodocus has been launched by the Royal Mint as part of its dinosaur range.
The coin has been inspired by the Natural History Museum’s diplodocus cast, affectionately known as “Dippy”, which was gifted to the museum in 1905.
It is the third and final coin in the range, which also includes a tyrannosaurus and stegosaurus.
A selection of the coins available feature colour.
The full collection of coins depicting each dinosaur is available to purchase from the Royal Mint’s website from 9am Thursday March 14, with prices starting at £11.
