| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse, designed by palaeontological artist Robert Nicholls, presents a dynamic naturalistic depiction of a Dimorphodon pterosaur in flight, wings fully extended and head turned to face right, its toothed jaws clearly rendered. A horizontal ground line divides the composition, below which the partial skeletal fossil of the creature is shown, referencing the original specimen discovered by Mary Anning. Prehistoric flora — including a fern and a cycad-like plant — flank the central figure in the left and right fields respectively, reinforcing the Jurassic setting. The legend DIMORPHODON arcs along the upper field, while MARY ANNING 1828 curves along the lower exergual area, commemorating Anning's identification of the specimen. The engraver's monogram RN appears in the lower right field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Dimorphodon was among the first pterosaurs ever scientifically described, named by Richard Owen in 1859 from Jurassic coast fossils collected by Mary Anning decades earlier — making it one of the few prehistoric creatures with a documented origin tied to a specific, named amateur collector. This coin belongs to the Royal Mint's Prehistoric Britain series, which drew on natural history consultation rather than pure artistic license, a deliberate departure from how dinosaur-themed numismatics had typically been handled by other mints.
