1oz. Australian Platinum Platypus Bullion Coin

The Platypus lays eggs, is venomous, has a duck-bill, a beaver-tail and has webbed feet.

The Platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus) is found only in Eastern Australia and lives near rivers and lakes, where they create burrows for shelter and protection.
