The little penguin, or fairy penguin, is the smallest penguin species in the world, and the only penguin with blue and white feathers. Only venturing onto land at night, and spending the majority of their time at sea, fairy penguins nest along southern coast of Australia and New Zealand.

Phillip Island in Victoria hosts Australia's largest colony, with over 30,000 breeding penguins found on the Summerland Peninsula.

The popular nighttime ‘penguin parade’ has been captured on the reverse of this 99.9% PURE SILVER legal tender in a velvety Black Proof finish, while the silvery glow of the full moon on the water illuminates the magical scene.
