2014 1 Troy Oz .999 Fine Silver Australia $1 Saltwater Crocodile

Welcoming to my collection....




The Saltwater Crocodile is the largest reptile in the world in terms of body mass, and is found in suitable habitats from northern Australia through Southeast Asia to the eastern coast of India.

Males can reach up to 7 metres in length and can weigh more than 1,000 kilograms, while females are significantly smaller, generally reaching only 4 metres in length, and weighing up to 100 kilograms.

Despite their name, the saltwater crocodile not only inhabits salt water but is just as happy in fresh, brackish and saline water in ponds, swamps, lakes, rivers and the ocean.

The saltwater crocodile is an extremely formidable and opportunistic predator capable of killing almost any animal that enters its territory, propelling itself through the water with surprising speed. Their sheer enormity makes them the most dangerous of all crocodiles to humans.

The coin’s reverse features the majestic arctic polar bear.

Listed as a vulnerable species with less than 20,000 believed to be in the wild, conservationists around the globe are fighting for the bears' resurgence in the animal kingdom.
