1 Dollar - Elizabeth II 4th Portrait - King Brown Snake Dreaming

Part of Perth Mint's long-running Australian Lunar and thematic silver dollar programs, this piece belongs to a subset that uses pad printing — a process borrowed from industrial manufacturing that deposits ink onto curved surfaces via a silicone pad — rather than enamel or traditional coloring techniques. The King Brown Snake, despite its common name, is not a true brown snake but a member of the mulga snake group, a taxonomic distinction that eluded settlers for generations.
