Australia 1 dollar Lizard Discover Australia proof color silver coin 2010

The 2010 Australian 1 Dollar Silver Coin “Discover Australia – Frilled Neck Lizard” is a striking collector’s issue from the Perth Mint, part of the celebrated Discover Australia series that highlights the nation’s most iconic wildlife. Struck in .999 fine silver with proof quality and vivid color detailing, this coin pays tribute to the extraordinary frilled-neck lizard, a species found in northern Australia and renowned for its dramatic display of spreading its colorful frill when threatened. The reverse presents a bold, stylized engraving of the lizard with intricate geometric patterns, its wide-open frill rendered with tribal-inspired design, while beneath, subtle earthy tones of yellow and orange provide a colored accent that evokes the Australian outback. Around the edge runs the inscription “DISCOVER AUSTRALIA,” along with the year of issue “2010 FRILLED NECK LIZARD 1oz .999 SILVER” and the Perth Mint “P” mintmark. The obverse features the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley, encircled with “ELIZABETH II – AUSTRALIA – 1 DOLLAR.” Rare and visually dynamic, this coin is both a tribute to indigenous fauna and a masterpiece of modern numismatic art.
