2011 $1 Endangered and Extinct Tasmanian Tiger 1oz Silver Coloured Proof Coin

The Tasmanian Tiger, or Thylacine, was a carnivorous marsupial native to Tasmania. Known for its striped back and dog-like appearance, it was declared extinct in 1936. Habitat loss, hunting, and competition with introduced species led to its decline. Sightings continue, sparking hope it may still survive.
