2023  Royal Australian Mint - Australian Antarctic Territory Humpback Whale Silver 1oz Investment Coin

Once hunted to the brink of extinction, Humpback Whales are now found in oceans worldwide and are a common sight off the coasts of eastern and western Australia. These magnificent creatures are featured in the new Royal Australian Mint series of coins showcasing animals of the Australian Antarctic Territory.

Humpback Whale protection began in Australian waters in 1963, and in 1965, global recognition of their declining numbers led to international protection. Since then, Australia’s Humpback Whale population has grown from a low of 200 to an estimated 60,000, with numbers steadily increasing each year.

This attractive coin comes with a guarantee of metal content and is presented in an elegant capsule.

The obverse features the Queen Elizabeth II Memorial Obverse, with the Jody Clark effigy, the dates of her reign, and details including the coin's weight, purity, monetary denomination, and 2023 year-date.

The 2023 $1 1oz Silver Investment Coin – Australian Antarctic Territory – Humpback Whale has a limited mintage of 25,000 coins worldwide.

Presentation: The coin is housed in a protective acrylic capsule.
