Re the 2009 Rarity - Excessively rare and Unique in Private Hands. Never originally released in 2009! While production run of this coin was done, the issue was not released and production run destroyed. The coin was not intended to be sold to the public, but one was by accident! For full background information see The Australian Coin & Banknote Magazine Volume 19 Number 1 FEBRUARY 2016 pages 8 & 9. With official certificate and original storage wallet. Ex. Downies Australian Coin Auction, Sale 319A, Lot 563. PCGS Cert. No. 33321700
Not all Crimson Rosellas are red - some are mostly yellow and some are mostly orange. If a red Crimson Rosella mates with a less common yellow Crimson Rosella, they will produce orange chicks.
