Interesting fact
The HMS Investigator, which is featured on the coin, was a British ship that was used for scientific research and exploration in the early 19th century. One of its most notable expeditions was led by Captain Matthew Flinders, who used the ship to circumnavigate Australia and make detailed surveys of its coastline. The coin's design commemorates this historic voyage and the contributions that Flinders and his crew made to the exploration of the region.
