Australia 5 dollars Wildlife Discovers Brolga Bird Fauna PR68 PCGS Au coin 2009

The Australia 5 Dollars “Discover Australia – Brolga” gold coin (2009) celebrates one of the continent’s most elegant birds. Certified PCGS PR68DCAM, it shows superb proof fields with deep cameo contrast. The reverse presents a stylised brolga—the famous “dancing crane”—its long beak and S-shaped neck framed by fine textural feather lines. Around the rim run the inscriptions DISCOVER AUSTRALIA above and 2009 • BROLGA • 9999 GOLD below; a clear “P” mintmark confirms the Perth Mint origin. The obverse features the right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley with the surrounding legends ELIZABETH II and AUSTRALIA, and the denomination 5 DOLLARS at the base. The brolga, a symbol of wetlands and ceremonial dance in Aboriginal tradition, embodies grace, balance and endurance—an inspired theme for a modern collector issue. Struck in high-purity gold with mirror fields and frosted relief, this graded piece from the Discover Australia program is a refined addition to collections focused on wildlife, national icons and certified Australian gold.
