Comments

Issued by the RAM in a tall Coincard in 2011 is this NCLT Pad Printed/Coloured Reverse Frosted $1 Aluminium-bronze coin. It is part of the six coin Air Series of coins issued in individual Coincards in 2011.


This coin was also released in a very limited edition Mini PNC by Australia Post. (Only 250 issued)


Compressed pieces of fruit underneath a tree are a dead giveaway that a Flying-Fox has been feeding there. They squeeze out the juice by squashing the fruit in their mouths, then spit out the remains.
