2013 Proof Set

Since the discovery of the platypus, its story has evolved from a scientific curiosity to a national symbol. Not only is it unique to our land, but it is also one of only two kinds of monotreme, or egg-laying mammal, along with the echidna. Exquisitely represented in selective gold plating on the 20c coin in this six coin Proof Set, the platypus exemplifies the uniqueness of Australia’s currency and the native beauty it portrays.
