Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2005 Australian 150 Dollar Elizabeth II (4th Portrait - Malleefowl - Gold Bullion Coin) is that it has a unique design feature. The coin's reverse side features an image of a malleefowl, a native Australian bird, surrounded by a spiral pattern of leaves and branches. This design was created by the Royal Australian Mint's chief engraver, Vladimir Gottwald, and it is the first time that a malleefowl has been featured on an Australian coin. The use of a unique design element like this sets the coin apart from other coins in the series and makes it a distinctive addition to any coin collection.
