~~ About the '2022 Australian Dinosaurs' Releases ~~
The 2022 coin and stamp series were released in partnership with the Royal Australian Mint ('2022 Australian Dinosaurs') and Australia Post ('2022 Dino Hunt'). These uncirculated coins were made available in two 4-coin set folders (either as 'Standard/Regular Strike' or with 'D, I, N, O' Privy marks), or selectively in PNC releases.
There is an additional (fifth) '2022 $1 Australovenator Skeleton coin' with an 'Envelope Privy' mark - This was ONLY made available with the '2022 Australovenator Skeleton PNC'.
Furthermore, there was an earlier '2022 $1 Dinosaurs Down Under 4-coin Set' release from the RAM which features four 'Australovenator Skeleton' coins (with C, B, M, S mint/privy marks).
~~ About 'Australian Dinosaurs' ~~
* 'Diamantinasaurus' is a genus of titanosaurian sauropod from Australia that lived during the early Late Cretaceous. The type species of the genus is D. matildae, first described and named in 2009 by Scott Hocknull and colleagues based on fossil finds in the Winton Formation.
* 'Australovenator' (meaning 'Southern hunter') is a genus of megaraptoran theropod dinosaur from Cenomanian (Late Cretaceous)-age Winton Formation of Australia. It is known from partial cranial and postcranial remains which were described in 2009 by Scott Hocknull and colleagues. It is the most 'complete' predatory dinosaur discovered in Australia.
* 'Elaphrosaurinae' is an enigmatic clade of gracile ceratosaurian theropod dinosaurs. These strange, light-weight dinosaurs distantly related to Carnotaurus, roamed Australia in the Early Cretaceous.
'Kunbarrasaurus' is an extinct genus of small herbivorous ankylosaurian dinosaur from the Cretaceous of Australia.

I am happy to combine postage... Please check out my other items and contact me before payment so I can send an invoice with discounted postage (where relevant).
Insurance is extra and is generally RECOMMENDED. For insurance please select the second postage option (when stated) so I can allocate funds appropriately. Please understand that the seller cannot accept responsibility for lost or damaged items.
Please be advised that I don't usually post large items to 'PO Boxes' (due to the chance of some parcels being rejected by the Post Office and returned to me). However, if you require the use of a PO Box then please message me.

If an International postage option is not shown, please message me before bidding/buying and I will confirm if I can post to you and estimate the cost.
