2016 $1 Australia's Remarkable Reptile Goanna 1oz Silver Coloured Proof Coin
Tax included.
The Goanna, a member of the monitor lizard family, is one of Australia’s largest reptiles, with some species growing over two metres long. Found across much of the country, goannas are skilled hunters and scavengers, feeding on insects, small mammals, birds, and carrion. They are strong climbers and often retreat to trees or burrows when threatened. Despite their intimidating size, goannas are generally shy around humans. Highly adaptable, they have long held cultural significance in Aboriginal traditions and stories.
