A new coin.
The Australia 5 Dollars Echidna Gold Coin 2009 from the Discover Australia – Fauna series is a fascinating tribute to one of the continent’s most extraordinary animals – the echidna. Known as the spiny anteater, this unique monotreme is represented on the reverse of the coin with its iconic quills and elongated snout, rendered in sharp proof detail. Surrounding the central design are the inscriptions DISCOVER AUSTRALIA and ECHIDNA, along with the year of issue and denomination. The obverse carries the classic effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley, encircled by the legend ELIZABETH II AUSTRALIA 5 DOLLARS 2009. Struck in fine gold with a deep cameo proof finish, this coin has been graded PCGS PR65 DCAM, underscoring its mirror-like fields and frosted relief. As part of the highly regarded Discover Australia series, it highlights the uniqueness of Australian fauna and the artistry of modern coinage. A valuable addition for collectors of wildlife and certified gold coins.
