The Murray Cod (*Maccullochella peelii*) was once so abundant in the Murray-Darling system that early settlers reported catching specimens exceeding 100 kg. By the time this coin was issued, the species had been listed as vulnerable under Australian federal law for nearly two decades — a consequence of river regulation, overfishing, and carp competition that reduced populations to a fraction of their historical levels. The pad-printed colour application is done post-strike at the RAM, a process that has improved considerably since the mint's earlier coloured issues of the late 1990s.
