    This is the new Perth Mint Shark Bay Dungong. What is a Dungong? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dugong

    the Dugong itself is not painted, but silver with texture, creating an illusion of color and depth.

    Yeah - I think that is the nicest of the set and if you asked me which one to buy, I'd say this one. The coin is very well designed.

    I don't think I can take a better photo than that one. You can see him swimming in that coin.

    I really like this picture and the coin. I think it is a break through in the artistry of coins.

    More sterling work from the Perth mint, I love their Kookaburras but the Dugongs look even more beautiful.

    I just think this one coin desgin deserves more air time. I think it was a special run for the Coin Show in Perth.

    From this year, not sure. The Archeopterex coin, the canadian dinosaur coins minus the glow in the dark version, the Deft Painting coin, after that I'm lost.
