Mongolia 500 Togrog Silver Coin 2015 Evolution of Life Ammonite
This beautiful 1 oz Silver 999 coin is the first issue in the amazing "Evolution of Life" series. The evolution of life is celebrated with a new series featuring an Ammonite fossil in sensational high-relief. Ammonites superficially resemble snails and nautilus, the marine creatures were however more closely related to octopus and squid.
The first Mongolian coin in this exciting new series features ammonite fossils on its reverse, including a large detailed, red-gold gilded one in high relief within a natural looking setting. This creates a breath-taking contrast between the gilded fossil and its background – something that adds to the attractiveness of this low mintage coin.
The obverse features various inscriptions, including, but not limited to: The country of issue “Mongolia” and “1oz .999 SILVER.”
Ammonites, named after the Egyptian god Ammon, are extinct today. The last ones were wiped out, along with dinosaurs, during the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event about 66 million years ago. In essence, these prehistoric creatures were squid like carnivores that lived inside coil-shaped shells in schools. Their diet consisted of small fish, shellfish and barnacles, which they entrapped with their tentacles and killed with their sharp, parrot like beaks. It is not difficult to see that they were related to Octopus and Squid (see below).
They ranged in size from small ammonites to ones in excess of 3 feet in diameter. This while females were up to 4 times larger than males. Interestingly enough, scientists use ammonite fossils of different shapes and sizes to determine the age of other fossils.
