What happens when 75 million years of Earth's history meet an 11-millimetre diameter? A numismatic masterpiece is born. The sixth issue of the popular "Prehistoric Life II." series is dedicated to one of the most fascinating predatory dinosaurs of all time: the Velociraptor mongoliensis. As a collector's coin, this piece combines scientific precision with the timeless beauty of pure gold – and in a strictly limited mintage that makes every collector's heart beat faster.

A predatory dinosaur, immortalised in gold

The obverse of this extraordinary gold coin depicts a gripping scene from the Late Cretaceous period: a Velociraptor, captured dynamically in motion, chasing small prey across barren primeval ground. In the background, a second Velociraptor rises before a majestic mountain range – a composition reminiscent of the finest palaeontological reconstructions. Particularly impressive: the fine feather structures of the predatory dinosaur are crisply visible despite the tiny diameter of just 11 mm. Above the scene, the inscriptions "PREHISTORIC LIFE", "VELOCIRAPTOR MONGOLIENSIS" and the time reference "75 – 71 MIO YEARS BC" as well as the year of issue 2025 can be found.

The reverse presents the official coat of arms of the Democratic Republic of Congo with the distinctive leopard's head, flanked by the words "JUSTICE", "PAIX" and "TRAVAIL". Below are the technical specifications: 0.5 g Au 999.9 and the face value of 100 Francs.

The Velociraptor – more than just a movie star

Forget what Hollywood has told you. The real Velociraptor mongoliensis was not a man-sized colossus, but a roughly two-metre-long, feathered hunter – agile, intelligent and equipped with a deadly sickle-shaped claw on each foot. It lived approximately 75 to 71 million years ago in the region of present-day Mongolia and belonged to the family of Dromaeosaurids. Fossil finds confirm its close kinship with the ancestors of today's birds. These scientific findings are impressively reflected in the coin's design.

Gold endures for millennia – just like the fascination for the giants of prehistoric times. This coin combines both in a unique way.

Why this coin is a true rarity

With a mintage of only 2,000 pieces worldwide, the golden Velociraptor is among the most strictly limited issues in the field of collector's coins. Experience shows: especially with such low mintage numbers, demand can quickly outstrip supply. For collectors of prehistoric designs and lovers of fine gold coinage, this presents a considerable appreciation potential.

Added to this is the flawless execution in Proof – the highest minting quality available. Every detail is worked out with a mirror-smooth background and matte relief. The result is a coin you don't simply own. You admire it.

Gold – the ultimate store of value for over 6,000 years

While paper currencies come and go, gold endures. It is the oldest currency in human history, recognised on every continent, in every era. Even the ancient Egyptians used gold as a unit of measure in trade. Kings and emperors wore it as a symbol of their power. And today? Today, even the central banks of this world hoard vast gold reserves – a silent admission that even they do not trust their own paper money without limits.

This 0.5-gram coin is available free of VAT. And those who hold their gold for at least one year can even realise any gains on sale tax-free. An advantage that hardly any other investment can offer.

Who is this coin made for?

Quite clearly: for the discerning collector. Anyone who already owns the previous issues of the "Prehistoric Life" series will not be able to pass up this golden Velociraptor. But newcomers too, who are looking for an exclusive rarity in purest gold, will find here a piece that unites a passion for palaeontology and the fascination for precious metals in the smallest of spaces. The reeded edge design, the partially gilded and coloured elements, and the compact size make this coin a true jewel in any collection.

Secure one of the only 2,000 pieces now – before the Velociraptor goes extinct a second time. This time for good.
