Australia 1 dollar Endangered Wildlife Saltwater Crocodile silver coin 2014

The 2014 Australian $1 silver coin “Saltwater Crocodile” highlights one of the most fearsome and ancient predators of the animal kingdom. Part of the Endangered Wildlife program, this 1 oz .999 fine silver coin pays tribute to the saltwater crocodile, the world’s largest living reptile, revered and feared across Australia’s northern regions.

On the obverse, the coin features the distinguished portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley, with inscriptions ELIZABETH II – AUSTRALIA 2014 – 1 DOLLAR. The reverse presents a striking design: a massive saltwater crocodile, body covered in textured scales, crawls across its natural swamp habitat with jaws wide open, ready to strike. Behind it, tall grasses rise above the water, enhancing the wild and untamed atmosphere of the scene. Around the edge, the inscriptions read SALTWATER CROCODILE – GRAHAM – 1 oz 999 Ag – ONE DOLLAR.

This issue combines naturalistic detail with numismatic artistry, emphasizing both the ecological significance and cultural symbolism of this predator. A limited collectible, it is prized among wildlife enthusiasts, silver investors, and collectors of modern Australian commemorative coins.
