2021 Investment Bullion Coin - Fraser's Dolphin:

The Royal Australian Mint has released its third edition of a Coin Series which is part of its Annual Bullion Series titled -  “Australian Dolphins”.

The Coin Series was launched in 2019 and features the many species of dolphins who make their home in Australian waters on all coasts. The dolphin is a beloved animal depicted in many cultures, and, since ancient times, they have symbolised happiness, power, and protection. 

About Fraser's Dolphin:

Featured on the third coin is the Fraser’s Dolphin, which is found in deep tropical waters worldwide.

 Named after Francis Fraser, a scientist from the British Museum, this species was  first described by him in 1956,  based on a skull found on a beach in Borneo. 

In 1971 scientists first documented Fraser’s Dolphins in the wild and as a distinct species

As with many dolphins, they are active swimmers, identified by their distinct dark side stripe from their eye to their flipper and usually found in groups of 10 to 100 individuals, but they can sometimes travel in herds of up to 1,000. 

The Investment Bullion Coin:

On the Reverse of the $100 (Gold Bullion Coin) and $1 (Silver Bullion Coin) features two playful Fraser’s Dolphins excitedly leaping out of the ocean against a rising sun.

 Above and to the left is the text - "FRASER'S DOLPHIN" (on the upper periphery) with the coins’ fineness and weight "1 OZ .9999 FINE GOLD or .999 FINE SILVER" placed below the primary design (on the lower periphery).

The Obverse of the $100 (Gold Bullion Coin) and $1 (Silver Bullion Coin), depicts an effigy of HM Queen Elizabeth II designed by Jody Clark (whose initials "JC" appear on the Queen's shoulder) introduced in Australian coinage in 2019. 

The denomination of 100 DOLLARS (Gold) or 1 DOLLAR (Silver) is placed below the Queen’s image.
