2009 $1 Frosted Uncirculated Pad Printed Coin: Frilled Neck Lizard

The Royal Australian Mint’s Land Series is coming to an end in 2009. To conclude this ever popular pad printed series, the Mint is proud to present the endangered and territorial Frilled Neck Lizard on $1 frosted uncirculated coins.Launched in 2008, the Mint has since released the following land dwelling animals – koala, wombat, echidna and the rock wallaby. With younger collectors in mind this colourful 6 coin collection makes an excellent gift as a complete set or individually. A frilled neck lizard was pictured on the Australian two cent coin which was withdrawn from circulation in 1992. This reptile, when frightened, flares their frill and accelerates to run on its hind legs.
