Each 2021 1/4 oz Australian Gold Platypus Coin listed here is a Brilliant Uncirculated specimen. These coins are available to you individually in plastic capsules, with multiples of 20 coins sealed together in a roller. The design of the platypus on these coins comes from Jennifer McKenna, a regular contributor to coin designs at Perth Mint.
The semiaquatic platypus is a unique species. These egg-laying mammals are endemic to eastern Australia and are also found in Tasmania. The platypus has a distinctive look that includes a bill similar to a duck, feet like an otter, and a tail like a beaver.
Queen Elizabeth II features on the obverse side of 2021 Australian Gold Platypus Coins. Her Majesty is shown here in the definitive sixth-generation portrait to grace Australian currency. This design was originally created for the Royal Mint in 2015 by Jody Clark and shows the Queen in right-profile relief at the age of 89. Her Majesty wears the George IV State Diadem in this design, a crown that is part of the official Crown Jewels of England.
