The Fact or Fiction: Patchwork Platypus Silver Proof Coin brings to life one of history’s most bizarre scientific debates. When British zoologists first received a platypus pelt in 1799, they refused to believe it was real—assuming it to be a hoax sewn together from different animals!
Struck from 2oz of 99.9% pure silver, this stunning collector’s piece imagines the platypus as early scientists saw it—a stitched-together oddity, as if crafted by an Aussie Bush Frankenstein. The intricate high-relief design, set against a sparkling metallic background, perfectly captures this legendary Fact or Fiction moment.
