50 Cents - Elizabeth II 4th Portrait - Great White Shark

This piece belongs to the Perth Mint's long-running Australian Coastal Wildlife series, which targeted the international bullion collector market throughout the 2010s with limited-issue silver rounds nominally denominated in Australian cents. The great white shark has particular resonance in Australian waters — the country averages more unprovoked attacks annually than almost any other nation, and the species has been legally protected in Australian waters since 1999, an early and still relatively rare conservation designation for an apex predator.
