Pay tribute to Chilean mythology with this 2oz 99.99% pure silver coin celebrating the mystical Alicanto bird with a spectacular central insert featuring gold and silver particles.
Magical bird
A large, magical bird in Chilean mythology, the Alicanto is said to inhabit outcrops in the Atacama Desert where it devours the region’s rich deposits of gold and silver. As a result, its plumage emits golden or silvery light during the night.
Shimmering beauty
The coin portrays an artistic representation of the Alicanto with a glistening gold-coloured eye, and a silvery head, wings and tail tinged with gold. The striking backdrop captures a gold-coloured moon amid desert mountains featuring a timeless antiqued treatment for added vintage charm.
The coin's artistry surrounds a Perspex dome containing authentic gold and silver particles suspended in clear liquid, creating a captivating spectacle of shimmering beauty. The reverse also includes a ‘P125’ mintmark signifying The Perth Mint’s 125th anniversary.
H.M. King Charles III effigy
The coin’s obverse depicts the Jody Clark effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, and a circular pattern bounded by the coin’s weight, purity, monetary denomination, and 2024 year-date.
Presentation packaging
The coin is housed in an illustrated dislay case with a unique keyhole design to view the gold and silver particles floating in the Perspex dome, all visible without having to open the case. The packaging is embellished with elements of mysticism, featuring an intriguing circular design that is highlighted by a mesmerising illustration of the magical Alicanto bird surveying the desert landscape.
