Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique kangaroo design, which is a symbol of Australia and is not commonly seen on coins. The kangaroo is depicted in a standing position, with its paws resting on a grassy mound, giving the impression of movement and dynamism. The coin's gold proof finish adds to its aesthetic appeal, making it a valuable and collectible item for numismatists and coin enthusiasts.
