Sometimes referred to as the duck-bill, platypuses mainly reside in Eastern Australia. These semi-aquatic, egg-laying mammals primarily make their home in and near lakes, rivers, and streams. Ranging in length from 15 to 24 inches, the adult Platypus usually weighs between 2 lbs and 5 lbs. Because they are mammals, Platypuses are covered with dense, biofluorescent fur extending across their body and tail that traps a layer of insulating air. Females are responsible for the rearing of their young, as the males take no part in the process. For this reason, the Perth Mint has depicted the mother platypus and her young swimming together on the reverse of the coin. Wade into warm waters with the new 2021 Silver Platypus Perth Mint Coin!

The obverse showcases the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, surrounded by inscriptions. Her bust appears in front of a background of radial lines.

The reverse, designed by Monique Reeves, features a mother Platypus swimming serenely with her young beneath the water’s surface. The background displays radial lines, and the Perth Mint mintmark is inscribed on the right side of the coin.
