Each 2025 1 oz Congo Silver Prehistoric Life Velociraptor Coin offered here is in Brilliant Uncirculated condition and comes packaged in a protective plastic capsule. The Prehistoric Life II Series builds on the earlier Prehistoric Life collection and introduces dinosaurs that were not featured in the original lineup.

Velociraptors lived during the Late Cretaceous period, around 75 to 71 million years ago, in areas that are now part of Central and East Asia. These dinosaurs are generally thought to have been fast and alert predators. Some researchers suggest they may have been warm-blooded, allowing for quick and active movement. There is also ongoing discussion about whether they hunted in groups. Their signature curved claws were likely used to hold onto prey, similar to how modern birds of prey use their talons.

On the obverse of the 2025 Congo Silver Velociraptor Coin is the coat of arms of the Congo. The design features a leopard’s head at its center, a symbol associated with strength and national identity. Behind the shield are a crossed elephant tusk and spear, representing the nation’s resources and its efforts to defend its independence.

The reverse of the 2025 1 oz Silver Velociraptor Coin shows a depiction of a Velociraptor. While often portrayed as large in movies, real Velociraptors were smaller in size. They stood about 18 inches tall at the hip and reached roughly six feet in length. Their bodies were slim and built for speed, with lightweight bone structures that supported fast movement. A key feature is the curved claw on each foot, which could grow up to 2.6 inches long and was likely used to grasp and control prey.
