The one dollar coin circulating denomination (written as $1) was introduced in Australia in 1984, replacing the earlier banknotes. The original reverse design by Stuart Devlin featuring five kangaroos - known in Australia as the "Mob of Roos" design - has not been changed since its introduction. The denomination is also used by both the Royal Australian Mint and the Perth Mint to issue an extensive range of collector coins, which are legal tender in Australia - such as this one. The Mint says about this coin: The iconic tripodfish (Bathypterois grallator), are from the Ipnopidae family, often called spiderfish; they prop themselves high off the seafloor on their stilt-like fins. Like most members of the spiderfish family, tripodfish have reduced eyes. To feed, they face into the current, extending their elongated pectoral fubs forward, "feeling" for prey as it drifts by. They filter suspended food particles with their comb-like gill rakers. It can be lonely on the ocean floor so tripodfish are hermaphrodites - meaning they have both male and female sexual organs, so don't need to find a mate. The Royal Australian Mint celebrates these journeys of scientific endeavour, and the wondrous creatures they discovered with this coin." | ||||||
