Coin Description

Market value estimate for sealed Royal Mint coin pack. Struck to Brilliant Uncirculated standard, this UK 50p coin explores the life and legacy of the giant deer, one of many large mammals to roam during the Ice Age. The giant deer had very large antlers, grown exclusively by the adult males, which shed in the spring and regrew in time for autumn and winter. This large herbivore would have coexisted with the woolly mammoth but was also present in more temperate climates when the woolly mammoth and woolly rhinoceros lived further north. The reverse design has been created by palaeo-artist Robert Nicholls in collaboration with the Natural History Museum and expert guidance from palaeobiologist Professor Adrian Lister.
