1 oz Australian Platinum Platypus - Random Year

Platinum's popularity has taken off over the last few years. Due to its grey-white metal, its ductile and malleable traits, platinum has been sought after, especially in the jewelry department. But now precious metals investors and collectors are turning their attention to the platinum products, such as pure platinum bars and coins. It seems that all collectors fear their collections will tarnish or lose their luster over time but since platinum is very strong and durable, those fears are cast aside. Platinum is a very rare element, compared to gold, silver, and even rhodium's availability.
