2013 Australian Bush Babies Series II - Platypus 1/2oz Silver Proof Coin
Description
The fourth release in this cute series depicts a baby platypus. The platypus is unique to Australia and lives beside freshwater rivers and lakes, where it creates burrows for shelter and protection.
It has webbed feet for swimming, which it does with its eyes closed and returns regularly to the water’s surface for oxygen. The platypus is one of the few mammals who possess an electroception sense, being the ability to detect biological electric fields.
The coin’s reverse depicts an irresistible coloured image capturing the uniqueness and charm of a beautiful baby platypus.
No more than 10,000 coins will be produced which is presented in a presentation case and comes with numbered certificate.
