Founded in 1896 as a branch to the British Royal Mint, Perth Mint today is one of the largest minting plants globally, owned by the Western Australian government. Manufacturer of the iconic ‘Kangaroo’ gold and silver investment coins, Perth Mint also produce a popular lunar series and a range of sought-after collector coins.
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.
DESIGN:
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.
The coin bears the Dan Thorne effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, and the monetary denomination.
PRESENTATION:
The coin is housed in a classic display case with a clear lid. Packaged with an illustrated shipper, the coin is accompanied by a numbered certificate of authenticity.
ISCLAIMER: Please note that the colour of the chrysoprase insert may vary.
