Comments
Issued by the RAM in a tall Coincard in 2008 is this NCLT Pad Printed/Colourised Reverse Frosted $1 Aluminium-bronze coin. It is part of the six coin Land Animals Series of coins issued in individual Coincards in 2008-2009.
When this one metre long Lizard is frightened, it runs on its hind legs and is sometimes called the "bicycle lizard" because of this behavior. When Australia adopted decimal currency, the Frilled Neck Lizard was pictured on the two cent coin.
