Comment
This NCLT Silver (.999) Proof coin was released by the RAM to commemorate Australian Fauna. Australia's arid and semi-arid spinifex grasslands have long harboured a secret, the existence of a beautiful and fragile little bird that for nearly 100 years was feared extinct. The night parrot was believed to be lost forever, but a second chance for the species came when it was rediscovered in 2013.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 creates a striking contrast between the shiny silver background and the gold-plated elements. This design element not only adds visual appeal but also highlights the importance of the Night Parrot, a critically endangered species native to Australia, which is depicted on the coin.
