Woolly Rhinoceros 2024 UK 50p Brilliant Uncirculated Coin

The Coin Company is proud to present Woolly Rhinoceros 2024 UK 50p Brilliant Uncirculated Coin by The Royal Mint.

One of the largest beasts to roam the Earth during the Ice Age, the woolly rhinoceros was similar in appearance to its modern-day counterpart. Weighing around 2 tonnes, it was about the same size as a living African white rhinoceros but had a thick double-layered wool coat and a sabre-like front horn, which is thought to have been used to clear snow when searching for food.

This Woolly Rhinoceros UK 50p coin features a reverse design created by palaeo-artist Robert Nicholls in collaboration with the expert guidance of palaeobiologist Professor Adrian Lister from the Natural History Museum
