Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1996 Australian $100 Elizabeth II (3rd Portrait - Tasmanian Blue Gum - Gold Bullion Coin) is that it has a unique feature - a small, 24-karat gold gum leaf that is embedded in the coin's design. This leaf is a nod to the Tasmanian Blue Gum, a native Australian tree that is known for its distinctive blue-gray bark and is featured on the coin's reverse side. The inclusion of the gold leaf adds an extra layer of depth and detail to the coin's design, making it a truly unique and collectible piece.
