Bilby are such cute little critters, I hate hearing about animals becoming extinct. :o)
They are cute indeed brother, yeah don't care much to hear about another extinction either, cheers mate.
What happen to these adorable animal is a catastrophe, it's terrible.
Yeah, same as the Tassie Tiger, it pisses me off every time I think about it, cheers mate.
That is a great looking coin, but that premium is unfortunate.

Yeah it's a bit pricey but it is a collector coin with a small mintage of only 5000 coins worldwide, cheers.

It sure is a shame, they are such cute little timid animals. They have a cousin the Bilby who are close to extinction as well, very sad. Cheers mate.
