Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 500 Dollars - Elizabeth II (6th Portrait - Griffin - Gold Proof Coin) 2022 from Australia is that it features a unique reverse design, showcasing a griffin, a mythical creature with the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle. This design is a departure from the traditional coin designs that feature the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse and a symbol of Australia on the reverse. The griffin is a symbol of strength, courage, and protection, and its inclusion on the coin may be seen as a representation of the country's values and aspirations.
