2024 · Ice Age Giants · Circulating

Price Guide: £4.00

The Giant Deer - sometimes called the Irish Elk, despite being neither exclusively Irish nor a true elk - carried the largest antlers of any deer species that ever lived, spanning up to 3.5 metres. It completes the Royal Mint's Ice Age Giants 50p series alongside the Woolly Mammoth and Woolly Rhinoceros.

Struck for general circulation, it's a common find and a striking design thanks to those antlers.
