This colourful coin features a poised lizard against a lime green background and celebrates the 150^th anniversary of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) in Australia. From skinks and geckos to frilled necked lizards and goannas, Australia is home to an incredible array of lizards, often found basking in the hot Australian sunshine. 

The Royal Australian Mint has partnered with the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) to celebrate the 150^th anniversary of the organisation’s work in Australia. Founded in London in 1824 and then in Australia in 1871, the RSPCA works to protect all animals from cruelty.

An independent charity, the organisation relies on community support to run animal rehoming shelters, investigate complaints of animal cruelty and educate the community about responsible pet ownership and animal welfare. 

The RSPCA promotes the welfare of all animals. In fact, its moniker is “for all creatures, great and small”.

This unique coin features a poised lizard and will be treasured by coin collectors and animal lovers alike.

A dollar from the sale of every lizard coin will go to the RSPCA to help them continue their important work.

Each lizard coin includes the following features:

• Unique, colourful design
• Limited mintage of 22,500
• Uncirculated finish
