2013 Mint Set

Although rather elusive in its natural watery habitat, the platypus has been a prominent feature of Australian culture for generations. The mammal has appeared as a character in Dot and the Kangaroo, Blinky Bill and other Australian children’s stories; as a mascot for the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games; and as a feature of many movies, songs and company logos. Given pride of place, the platypus is the focus of this six coin Uncirculated Set, printed in vibrant colour on the 20c coin.
