Australia 2009 Dollar Steve Irwin Brilliant Uncirculated |
This second issue in the series "Inspirational Australians" pays tribute to one of the most popular and admired global TV personalities of the past generation. Anyone who watched the engaging, charismatic Steve Irwin on "Crocodile Hunter" fondly remembers his indomitable courage and supreme confidence in working with dangerous animals … and mourns his tragic death in 2006 while handling a stingray off the coast of Australia. The one-year engraving presents a lifelike portrait of the affable Irwin, surrounded by animals and tropical settings he loved. Irwin was perhaps the most influential figure of his time in encouraging wildlife conservation. Queen Elizabeth II obverse. Aluminum-bronze. Comes with Mint color pack. 25mm
