The second coin in the remarkable Australian Megafauna coin series, the Diprotodon, takes you back in time to discover the larger-than-life animals that once roamed Australia.
The Diprotodon was a giant wombat-like marsupial that was part of a range of megafaunal creatures which inhabited Australia during the Pleistocene period.
The reverse of the coin features a design by paleo-artist, Peter Trusler, of a Diprotodon set against a coloured bush background. The inscription DIPROTODON, the coin’s weight and fineness, and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark are also incorporated into the design.
Issued as Australian legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965, the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the 2014 year-date and the monetary denomination are shown on the coin’s obverse.
