2025 Aussie Big Things 2 - $1 Uncirculated Coin on Card – The Big Prawn

2025 Aussie Big Things 2 $1 AlBr Uncirculated – The Big Prawn

Exmouth is a small coastal town on the tip of the North West Cape, more than 1,000 kilometres north of Perth, Western Australia.

The bright orange Big Prawn, which represents a cooked Western King Prawn, is located next to the Ningaloo Visitor Centre. Seven metres tall and weighing 2,000 kilograms, the giant fibreglass-over-steel crustacean was commissioned in 2005 by seafood company MG Kailis and constructed by local resident Brian Paskins.

Subsequently donated to the town of Exmouth, the Big Prawn received a refurbishment in 2020. This popular tourist attraction is a tribute to the local wild prawn fishery, which produces 900 tonnes of wild-caught prawns annually.
