Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it commemorates the Burke and Wills Expedition, which was a historic expedition that took place in Australia in the 19th century. The expedition was led by Robert Burke and William Wills, who were both explorers and scientists. They set out to cross the continent of Australia from south to north, and their journey was marked by many challenges and hardships. Despite their efforts, both Burke and Wills tragically died on the journey, but their expedition helped to open up the interior of Australia to European settlement and paved the way for future exploration. The coin's design features an image of Queen Elizabeth II on one side and a depiction of Burke and Wills on the other, along with the expedition's dates and a map of their route.
