Utahraptors were meat-eating dinosaurs that lived around 125 million years ago in what is now eastern Utah. Unlike the smaller Velociraptor, which was roughly the size of a turkey, the Utahraptor was much larger. It had a large curved claw on each foot that could grow up to 15 inches long, likely used to capture and take down prey.

The obverse side of the 2024 Proof Congo Gold Utahraptor Coin shows the national coat of arms of the Democratic Republic of Congo. This emblem features a leopard’s head in the center, positioned above a rock. Flanking the rock are an elephant tusk and a spear, symbolizing strength and heritage.

On the reverse, the coin displays the Utahraptor in a lifelike design. While dinosaurs are often shown with scaly skin, scientists believe the Utahraptor was feathered. Though no feathers have been directly found with this species, it was closely related to other feathered dinosaurs. These feathers may have helped with temperature control or may have been used for display.
