Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2004 Australian 200 Dollars Elizabeth II (4th Portrait - Cassowary - Gold Proof) coin is that it features a unique design of a cassowary, a large flightless bird native to Australia, on the reverse side. This design was created by the Royal Australian Mint's chief engraver, Vladimir Gottwald, and it is the first time a cassowary has been featured on an Australian coin. The coin's design also includes a stylized representation of the plant, Gympie golden-top, which is found in the cassowary's natural habitat. The combination of the cassowary and the plant creates a beautiful and unique design that sets this coin apart from other coins in the series.
