with Australia Zoo. This piece features a colour printed image of the crocodile Bindi, which was Steve Irwin's favourite
crocodile, along with the
legend
"SALTWATER CROCODILE BINDI - ONE DOLLAR." The obverse features the
standard Ian Rank-Broadley portrait of HM Queen Elizabeth II with the
legend
"ELIZABETH II AUSTRALIA 2013".
