The Leafy Seadragon (Phycodurus eques) was adopted as South Australia's s marine emblem in 2001. Around 24 centimetres in length, this ethereal-looking fish is hard to spot, as it is camouflaged by the long, seaweed-like protrusions growing on its body. Leafy Seadragons have only been found in the temperate waters of southern Australia, from Wilson’s Promontory in Victoria to Jurien Bay Marine Park in Western Australia. They are often sighted in the sea near Adelaide, South Australia. They prefer kelp-covered rocky reefs and seagrass meadows in depths from around three to 50 metres. The Leafy Seadragon is one of only three seadragons endemic to Australian waters. This exclusive, limited-edition, embellished cover encloses a special gold-plated medallion. Covers and medallions feature matching individual numbering of 1 to 150. Features an exclusive gold, cut-out medallion with enamel fill and direct-to-metal print, made from zinc alloy, maximum size 48mm, maximum thickness 4mm.
