Comment
This NCLT Silver (.999) Proof coin was released by the RAM to commemorate Australian Fauna. Australia's driest deserts were once home to a tenacious little marsupial that lurked in sandy burrows by day and emerged after dark to hunt for small prey. The lesser bilby, which sported a long tail and ears, along with a fierce temperament, was declared extinct in the 1950s.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of nickel plating and selective gold plating on the fauna, which gives it a distinctive and eye-catching appearance.
