2011 Perth Mint - Bilby - Sugar Glider 1/2oz Silver Proof

The beloved bilby is an Australian desert-dwelling marsupial that is nocturnal. The bilby lives in burrows underground to protect itself from the heat and predators. This marsupial has adapted so well to its environment that the female’s pouch faces backwards so that it does not fill with dirt when she is digging!

The 50-cent coin is struck from 1/2oz of 99.9% pure silver in proof quality with a large 36mm diameter. Each coin is accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
