It stands outside the railway station in the city of Swan Hill, which lies on the south bank of the Murray River in north-west Victoria.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFifteen metres long, three metres wide and five metres high, the steel and fibreglass Giant Murray Cod is at once a symbol of civic pride, an inducement for tourist snaps and a reminder that numbers of this species, once common in the Murray–Darling river system, have been greatly reduced. This Big Thing was originally built in 1991 as a movie prop for a film, Eight Ball, about an architect and ex-con who work together on a tourist attraction: a giant Murray Cod. After the film was made, the big fish was donated to the community of the Rural City of Swan Hill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis postal numismatic cover and card houses an uncirculated coin from the Aussie Big Things coin series depicting a graphic rendition of the Big Murray Cod. The coloured coin is a limited issue and has been produced by the Royal Australian Mint in aluminium-bronze. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCover\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne stamp affixed postmark\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarge image of the Giant Murray Cod on cover is enhanced by a gold foil to give it a shiny appearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePostmark: 1 November 2023 │ Swan Hill Vic 3585\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCoin details\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelease year:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e2022\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMint:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eRoyal Australian Mint\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetal:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlBr\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMintage:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eUnlimited\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDenomination:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e$1\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e9 g\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiameter:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e25 mm\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eUncirculated\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-short-desc\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Australian Specialty Coins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51259036631204,"sku":null,"price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0401\/9027\/9844\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_b2d6fc75-1213-442c-96b4-7c4b4d9b2398.jpg?v=1772193929","url":"https:\/\/www.australianspecialtycoins.com.au\/products\/2023-aussie-big-things-giant-murray-cod-1-coin-postal-numismatic-cover","provider":"Australian Specialty Coins","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
