Embark on a journey to uncover Australia's beloved 'Big Things' with this new coin collection, expertly crafted by the Royal Australian Mint.

This specific coin showcases The Giant Murray Cod, a magnificent landmark located in Swan Hill, Victoria. This enormous, stunning fish, adorned with its captivating patterned exterior, yellow eyes, and open mouth, is an unmistakable sight. Stretching 11 meters in length, it serves as a tribute to the native Australian fish population found in the Murray River, the nation's longest river.

Originally constructed as a prop for the Australian film "Eight Ball," the Swan Hill community was so taken with it that they united efforts to transform the prop into a permanent fixture in the town.

Aussie Big Things embodies the spirit of the quintessential Australian road trip. With over 200 of these colossal landmarks dispersed across the country, they beckon both tourists and locals to mark these iconic wonders off their list as they traverse Australia. How many of these remarkable landmarks have you had the opportunity to witness?
