Visitors can examine the past and step back in time at the quarry built above the dinosaur fossil beds to further the study of these fossilized clues into the earth’s ancient history. The medallion’s obverse shows the stout, spiked form of the Stegosaurus dinosaur. The reverse displays a fossilized Stegosaurus and the date the monument was designated in 1915. Minted in deep relief using a special “splash minting” process, this coin is struck in a brass alloy and given a beautiful lacquered finished. Each coin measures 1 1/2 inch (38.1mm) in diameter.
