Australia 50-CENTS (KM769)

Assorted animals

This 12-sided circulating commemorative coin was issued in 2005 to commemorate the 2006 Commonwealth Games. The reverse features a bunch of different animals showing human athletes how it is done, including a swimming platypus, a jumping kangaroo, a sprinting emu, some kind of tree frog (I think), and another bird doing some kind of dance.

Many thanks to Maria for gifting this long-sought coin to the Coin Zoo!
