Coin’s reverse features the complete skeleton of a salt water crocodile depicted in the act of lunging for its prey, demonstrating the power and grace of Australia’s ‘Salty’. Beneath this is a small map of Australia, with frosting to depict the natural habitat alongside a small plaque containing both its English and the scientific name for the Saltwater Crocodile. 

Part of a three-coin series: ‘Australia’s Most Dangerous’ features some of Australia’s deadliest animals reproduced in skeletal form, this beautiful silver proof coin shows the fearsome Saltwater Crocodile in a new and unique form.
