2010 $5 Little Dinkums Tinga Tasmanian Devil 1/25oz Gold Proof Coin

G’Day! My name is Tinga and I’m a Tasmanian devil. I’ve got a reputation for being fierce, but I’m quite shy. I show my teeth and make snarling sounds to scare rivals away. Early settlers were frightened of my growls, hence my title. Devils lived all over Australia once, but dingoes killed most of us on the mainland. Now we’re endangered and our biggest threat is disease. Brought to life in cartoon style, Tinga is part of the charming gold proof series ‘Little Dinkums’.
