The platypus is one of Australia’s most unique native animals, known for its distinctive duck-like bill, webbed feet and semi-aquatic lifestyle. After being born in a secluded burrow, young platypuses remain close to their mother as they develop the skills needed to survive in Australia’s waterways.

ADORABLE MOTHER & BABY DESIGN

The coin portrays a mother platypus with her young baby in a natural Australian wetland setting. The detailed design captures the close bond between mother and offspring, surrounded by aquatic vegetation and flowing water. The design also features The Perth Mint’s iconic ‘P’ mintmark.
