| 裏面の説明 | A boldly rendered, naturalistically detailed effigy of a Megalosaurus bucklandii occupies the central field, depicted in an upright posture facing left with powerful forelimbs and characteristic large skull with open jaws revealing teeth. A fossilised jawbone specimen is displayed along the base of the design, referencing the original fossil discovery. Prehistoric fern fronds and plant forms flank the figure on either side of the field, evoking the Jurassic environment. The legend 'MEGALOSAURUS' arcs above the figure and 'BUCKLAND 1824' appears in the lower exergual segment, commemorating William Buckland's formal scientific description of the genus; the engraver's initials 'RN' appear to the right of the jawbone. |

One of nine coins in the Royal Mint's 2020 dinosaur series, this piece marks the 200th anniversary of William Buckland's formal description of Megalosaurus bucklandii in 1824 — the first dinosaur ever scientifically named. Buckland, an Oxford geologist who once famously attempted to identify every animal in the Bible by its fossilized remains, based his diagnosis on bones recovered from a slate quarry at Stonesfield, Oxfordshire, in the early 19th century.
The series was struck for general circulation, making circulated examples inevitable despite collector demand.
