Comments

This Fine Silver (.999) Proof coin was issued by the RAM. It is part of a three-coin series: ‘Australia’s Most Dangerous’ featuring some of Australia’s deadliest animals reproduced in skeletal form.

A lively Tasmanian Devil is shown catching its prey – in skeletal form. Tasmanian Devils are the world’s largest surviving marsupial carnivores. They were named for the terrifying screams, growls and coughs that they utter when gathering to feed. A fascinating gift for the collectors and nature lover in your life.
