2012 UNC $1 150th Anniversary Of Melbourne Zoo Gorilla

Issued to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Australia's world-renowned Melbourne Zoo – established in 1862 in Royal Park, Parkville, where the illfated Burke & Wills Expedition had departed two years before – one of the first two coins of this fascinating new series honour the Western Lowland Gorilla. Sure to capture the imagination of non-collectors with the glorious designs, bright presentation and detailed information, this unique $1 type will also be hotly pursued by traditional collectors. Not to be issued for circulation, and certain to have relatively low mintages, the Western Lowland Gorilla $1 coin are simply a must-have for a complete $1 collection!
