A new coin.
The Australia 5 Dollars “Discover Australia – Saltwater Crocodile” gold coin (2006) is a striking issue from the Perth Mint’s acclaimed series devoted to the continent’s wildlife. Certified PCGS PR69DCAM, this proof coin demonstrates superb strike and deep cameo contrast. The reverse features a powerful saltwater crocodile, the largest living reptile on Earth and a true symbol of Australia’s untamed nature. The detailed design shows the crocodile with open jaws and textured scales, encircled by the inscription DISCOVER AUSTRALIA above and 2006 • SALTWATER CROCODILE • 9999 GOLD below, with the Perth Mint “P” mintmark completing the composition. On the obverse appears the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley, with inscriptions ELIZABETH II, AUSTRALIA, and denomination 5 DOLLARS at the base. Revered and feared, the saltwater crocodile has a prominent place in Aboriginal culture and represents strength, survival, and endurance. With its perfect craftsmanship, purity, and limited mintage, this coin is a prestigious addition to any collection of Australian fauna or certified gold issues.
