Description

The Australian Platypus is a highly desirable way to gain exposure to platinum by investing in a beautifully struck coin.

The platypus is unique to Australia, and unusual in that it is the only mammal that lays eggs. Europeans originally considered the idea of an egg laying, duck billed, beaver tailed, otter-footed animal to be a hoax when early explorers first described the platypus. The male platypus is also one of the few venomous mammals.

The reverse of this coin features a platypus swimming underwater amongst aquatic plants.

Unique subject matter minted in a difficult-to-find platinum coin make this a must have investment.
