Interesting fact
The HMS Investigator, which is featured on the coin, was a British ship that was used for scientific exploration and mapping in the early 19th century. It was commanded by Matthew Flinders, who was a prominent British navigator and cartographer. The ship was used to survey the coastlines of Australia and other parts of the Pacific, and it played a significant role in the development of our understanding of the region's geography and natural history.
