2009 $5 Little Dinkums Petey Platypus 1/25oz Gold Proof Coin

G’Day! My name is Petey and I’m a platypus. I’m a puzzling animal, with a duck-shaped bill, webbed feet and a broad tail, and I’m one of only two egg-laying monotremes in the world. During the day I hang out in my riverbank burrow, and at night I go foraging for worms and little crayfish under the water. I love having lots of vegetation and clean water around my home, so I prefer to live in quiet bushland settings. Brought to life in cartoon style, Petey is part of the charming gold proof series ‘Little Dinkums’.
