2021 10 oz $10 AUD Australian Mother & Baby Platypus Silver Coin BU (In Capsule)

The 2021 release of the Mother & Baby Platypus Silver Coin is the fourth of the Next Generation Series. There is only one new design per date mark and the focus, as with most Perth Mint programs, is on native animal species. The collection has previously featured the koala, saltwater crocodile, and kookaburra, all animals that are native to the Australian continent. The collection was launched as the Perth Mint was adding new security features to its major silver and gold bullion coins. The security feature on these particular coins is hidden within the text inscriptions on the reverse of the coins. There is a micro-laser engraved letter within the text that can only be seen under magnification. Coins arrive inside protective plastic capsules.
