GREAT SOUTHERN LAND
Australia is an island continent of extraordinary landscapes and biodiversity. Among its most remarkable natural environments are the rainforests of northern and eastern coastal regions. Comprising tropical, sub-tropical and cool-temperate habitats characterised by high rainfall, lush growth, and dense treetop canopies, they support a rich array of Australian animals and insects, as well as thousands of plant species.
GEM OF NATURE DESIGN
Celebrating the flora and fauna of Australia’s iconic rainforest, the coin depicts (clockwise from top-right), a flying fox, a possum, a tree snake, a kingfisher, a crocodile, a butterfly, a tree frog, a cassowary, an orb-weaving spider, and other birds. Included in the design are representations of plant life, along with The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark and the coin’s weight, purity, and 2026 year-date.
CHRYSOPRASE INSERT
The design encircles an Australia-shaped insert of chrysoprase, a gemstone that derives its green colour from nickel. Found in Queensland and Western Australia, ‘Australian jade’, makes an eye-catching jewellery stone when polished. Variations in colour and appearance of the insert are inherent due to the natural formation of the gemstone, making each coin in the mintage one-of-a-kind.
PRESENTATION PACKAGING
Accompanied by a numbered certificate of authenticity, the coin comes in a classic display case within an illustrated shipper.
ABOUT THE PERTH MINT
The Perth Mint opened in 1899 as the British Royal Mint's 3rd branch in Australia. The historical Hay Street location handled gold refining until moving to a modern facility in April 1990. Ownership of the mint was transferred to the Government of Western Australia in July of 1970. Under an agreement with the Commonwealth Treasury, they were empowered to mint and market gold, silver, and platinum as Australian legal tender to investors and collectors worldwide. Today, they are amongst the elite world mints whose pure gold, silver, and platinum items are trusted without question. Items such as the Australian Nugget, Silver Coin Series (Kangaroo, Kookaburra, Koala, and Platypus to name a few), as well as the Australian Lunar Gold and Silver Coin Series are extensively sought after by bullion investors worldwide.
