The reverse of the 2012 Platinum Platypus was designed by Natasha Muhl featuring the majestic duck-billed platypus. These intriguing and delightful mammals are indigenous to Australia and quite unique as a species. The duck billed platypus has a tail similar to the North American beaver, webbed feet, a bill, and lays eggs; however this extremely unique creature is considered a mammal, has fur and nurses its young like other mammals. The reverse also features vegetation underwater from the rivers and lakes of Australia where the platypus is commonly found. Encircling the underwater Australian scene the reverse displays the words AUSTRALIAN PLATYPUS, 2012 1oz 9995 PLATINUM. Ian Rank-Broadley’s iconic depiction of Queen Elizabeth II graces the obverse of the 2012 Platinum Platypus as it does on many if not all the coins the Perth Mint releases. An inscription of the words “ELIZABETH II, AUSTRALIA and 100 DOLLARS can be found on the obverse of this beautiful coin surrounding the profile of the Queen. Collectors can appreciate its beauty and rarity having a guaranteed mintage of 30,000, and Investors can appreciate the same, as well as the fineness and purity of the 2012 Platinum Platypus Bullion Coin.

Review by Chris | March 31, 2012
All pics I've seen on sites do no justice to this coin as you hold this beauty in your hand. Beautifully elegant with its white blasted background coupled with polished relief. Again Provident has exceeded my expectations in pricing and quality making them the only online metal business I deal with.
