Struck from 1oz of 99.99% pure silver in proof quality, this spectacular coin from the Great Southern Land Series features an Australia-shaped insert made from green chrysoprase.
Green chrysoprase
Deriving its verdant colour from nickel, chrysoprase makes an eye-catching jewellery stone when polished. Also known as ‘Australian jade’, the gorgeously green insert in this coin perfectly epitomises the lush habitat and remarkable biodiversity of Australia’s rainforests.
Rainforest icons
The map-shaped chrysoprase insert is surrounded by depictions of iconic rainforest fauna and flora, including a flying fox, a possum, a tree snake, a kingfisher, a crocodile, a butterfly, a tree frog, a cassowary, and an orb-weaving spider. As well as representations of plant life, the design incorporates ‘P125’ mintmark signifying The Perth Mint’s 125th anniversary in 2024, and the coin’s weight, purity, and year-date.
H.M. King Charles III effigy
The coin bears the Dan Thorne effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, and the monetary denomination.
