Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it commemorates the 100th anniversary of Sir Douglas Mawson's Antarctic Expedition (1911-1914), which was a groundbreaking scientific expedition that explored the coast of Antarctica and conducted research in fields such as geology, biology, and meteorology.
