Comment
Coin struck by the RAM but issued by Australia Post as change into circulation from 3500 Post Offices Australia wide. The coins are featuring 26 classic Aussie icons from letters of the Alphabet from A to Z.This coin is the Letter "P" for Platypus. When people think of Australian Animals, they often think of three words: unique, beautiful, and venomous. Somewhere between a duck and a poisonous beaver, our beloved platypus neatly covers all three.
A press in album for the 26 coins was available for $9 or you can buy the full set of 26 coins in a special tube including the album for $49.
