UNIQUE AUSTRALIAN WILDLIFE
Australia is home to more than 600,000 species of wildlife, many of which are endemic to the island nation. This diversity and the uniqueness of the country’s fauna continue to captivate the world. Some creatures have become national icons, while many less recognised and often unseen species take refuge during the daylight to awaken after dark.
CREATURES OF THE NIGHT
To celebrate the wonderous nocturnal species of Australia, the coin’s reverse depicts (clockwise from the top) a crescent moon and stars, an Australian tiger moth, a night jar owl, an Australian Christmas beetle, a marbled gecko, a spotted quoll, a night parrot, a lead beater possum, a koala and a ghost bat. Also in the design are illustrations of Australian flora, along with The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark and the coin’s weight, purity, and 2026 year-date.
MATRIX OPAL INSERT
The reverse design surrounds an inlay crafted from matrix opal in the shape of Australia. A natural gemstone of the land, the opal is admired for its depth of appearance and iridescent colours which reveal themselves in the light, and more brilliantly 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 with a clear lid 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.
