Megalodon was at its peak during the Miocene and Pliocene ages, when it hunted whales, dolphins, seals, and other large sea animals. It lived in warm coastal and open waters all around the globe. Researchers believe megalodon went extinct about 3.6 million years ago, likely due to cooler oceans, fewer prey animals, shifting currents, and competition from predators like early great white sharks and orcas.

Each 2025 1 oz Congo Silver Prehistoric Life Megalodon Coin arrives in a clear protective capsule. These coins are struck in Brilliant Uncirculated condition and represent the fifth design in the Prehistoric Life II Series.

The obverse of the coin features the official coat of arms of the Democratic Republic of Congo. This design shows a leopard’s head set above a stone tablet, with an elephant tusk on one side and a spear on the other. A beaded frame and identifying inscriptions complete the design.

On the reverse of the coin, the impressive size of megalodon is illustrated in a scene of the shark lunging at a blue whale, which is still the largest living animal on Earth today. Megalodon first appeared around 23 million years ago and thrived in warm seas full of marine mammals until its eventual extinction.
