Each 2025 1/2 Gram Proof Congo Gold Prehistoric Life Megalodon Coin is housed in a protective capsule. These half-gram proof coins display frosted design elements over mirrored backgrounds for strong contrast. This release marks the fifth entry in the ongoing Prehistoric Life II Series.

Megalodon is widely viewed as an apex hunter, with size estimates around 50 to 60 feet or more and teeth exceeding seven inches—far larger than those of a modern great white. Though it disappeared roughly 3.6 million years ago, megalodon still captures interest in science, pop culture, and occasional debates about whether any mysteries remain in the deep ocean.

The obverse of the 2025 Proof Congo Gold Prehistoric Life Megalodon Coin presents the coat of arms of the Democratic Republic of Congo. A forward-facing leopard head rests above a stone tablet, flanked by an elephant tusk on the left and a spear on the right. A beaded rim and inscriptions complete the national motif and identifying details.

On the reverse of 2025 1/2 Gram Proof Gold Prehistoric Life Megalodon Coins, the coin art emphasizes the shark’s immense scale as it moves to consume a blue whale—the largest living animal today. Megalodon first appears in the fossil record about 23 million years ago, during the Early Miocene, and flourished across global waters thanks to warm climates and abundant marine mammals.
