Obverse
The obverse of the 2024 Proof Congo Gold Utahraptor Coin presents the official coat of arms of the Democratic Republic of Congo. At the center is a forward-facing leopards head, shown above a rock slab. An elephant tusk and a spear are placed on either side of the slab.
Reverse
On the reverse side, the Utahraptor is featured in a detailed rendering. Although many dinosaurs are often shown with scaly skin, the Utahraptor may have had feathers. While no direct fossil evidence has confirmed this, its close relatives were feathered, so its likely the Utahraptor had some form of feathering for warmth or display.
History
Utahraptors were large predators that roamed what is now eastern Utah about 125 million years ago. Compared to the much smaller Velociraptor, the Utahraptor was huge and had long, curved clawseach up to 15 inchesthat were likely used to capture prey.
