Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique pad-printed design of a lionfish, which is an invasive species in Australia. The lionfish is known for its venomous spines and vibrant colors, and it has become a popular theme in numismatics due to its striking appearance. The use of pad printing technology allows for a high level of detail and color accuracy, making the lionfish design stand out on the coin's surface. This coin is a great example of how numismatics can combine art, nature, and technology in a single collectible piece.
