| 背面描述 | Central colourised depiction of a Dimorphodon pterosaur in dynamic flight, rendered in naturalistic earth tones of brown, olive, and grey, with a prominent yellow-orange beak. The creature is shown with wings fully extended and a clawed hind limb visible in the lower field, resting on a branch rendered partially in colour. Flanking the central motif are engraved prehistoric flora in the left and right fields, adding scientific context to the composition. The legend 'DIMORPHODON' arcs across the upper field, while 'MARY ANNING 1828' appears along the lower border, commemorating the palaeontologist who discovered the first Dimorphodon specimen. The engraver's initials 'RN' appear in the lower right field. |

The Dimorphodon piece is part of the Royal Mint's ten-coin British Dinosaurs series launched in 2021, featuring prehistoric species with documented fossil records from British soil. Dimorphodon macronyx was first described by Richard Owen in 1859 from Jurassic Coast specimens — the same Owen who coined the word "Dinosauria" in 1842 and who remains a divisive figure in paleontological history for his systematic suppression of younger rivals, Darwin among them.
