Introducing the extraordinary 2021 1.5 oz Australian Platypus .9999 Silver Coin, a true marvel of nature captured in precious silver. This exquisite coin celebrates the unique and fascinating platypus, a mammal like no other. One of the platypus's most intriguing features is its venomous spur, found exclusively in males.

Its presence harks back to ancient mammal groups that have long gone extinct, making the platypus a living relic of a bygone era.
