The Tasmanian tiger, also known as the "wolf of Tasmania", was a carnivorous marsupial that lived in Tasmania until the 20th century. It was distinguished by its dog-like appearance with characteristic dark stripes across its back. Intensive hunting, habitat loss, and introduced diseases led to its rapid decline. The last known specimen died in 1936 in a zoo in Hobart, and the species has been considered extinct ever since. Strictly limited to 50 pieces worldwide, the **Tasmanian Tiger 1 oz Gold proof coin** is delivered in the original box including a numbered certificate of authenticity.
