New Design

Exquisite Fine White Diamond Set

A Land of Breathtaking Contrasts

A True Aussie Icon This magnificent 1 kilo silver proof coin features the beloved Australian koala.

When they are not asleep, koalas spend their time eating succulent gum leaves for nutrients and moisture. Being particular with their choice of food, koalas will only eat the tender tips of leaves from just twelve of the hundred or more species of eucalypt trees that grow in Australia. Despite grazing on more than a kilogram of leaves a day, koalas also like to snack and will often store leaves in their cheeks and in their pouches.

The Kimberley is host to some of the world’s most magnificent sunrises which light the dawn sky with hues of radiant gold, bright orange, dark greys, and smoky purples. This spectacular lightshow illuminates the horizon with fiery light, providing a magical start to the day.

Following the success of the Kimberley Sunset coin, released in 2015, this coin features the same design in mirror image and is set with a fine white diamond to symbolise the light that the dawn of a new day brings.

Contemporary packaging.

Spectacular 1 kilo of pure silver.

The Perth Mint’s Australian Sovereign

Sovereigns of the Great War

A Modern Tribute

Covering the period from the outbreak of the Great War until the guns finally fell silent more than four years later, this presentation unites the five different sovereign dates struck at Australian branches of the Royal Mint in Perth, Melbourne and Sydney in 1914, 1915, 1916, 1917 & 1918.

The commemorative 2016 Australia Sovereign is a modern tribute to the original Type 1 reverse designed by Leonard Charles Wyon, which features the St Edwards crown, a laurel wreath and the word AUSTRALIA.

Each of the 15 sovereigns in this collection is distinguished

by Benedetto Pistrucci’s famous St George & Dragon reverse design, together with the original obverse portrayal of King George V – a portrait employed from 1911 to 1928.

Prestigious, scarce and complete, including each year of WWI.

1914 - 1918 Mintmark Sovereign Set #16A31AAA ? 22 Carat Gold ? Extra Fine – Uncirculated Quality ? 22.05mm ø ? 15 Sovereigns in One Set

The discovery of payable gold in the colony of New South Wales in 1851 lay behind the establishment of the Sydney branch of the Royal Mint, which opened on 14 May 1855. The first Type I sovereign, featuring a unique ‘colonial’ design, was produced on 23 June. There ensued an unbroken 76-year history of gold sovereign production in Australia, with more than 400 million coins created.

New 2016 Design Fourth Release in Series

Australia’s Ultimate Working Horse

The Predatory Goanna

The Australian Stock Horse has been especially bred for Australian conditions. It is a hardy breed of horse noted for its endurance, agility and agreeable temperament. While its ancestry dates to the arrival of the first horses in Australia, today it is used in a wide variety of equestrian disciplines, and is also still highly valued as a working horse by stockmen throughout Australia.

Goannas are large, carnivorous reptiles or monitor lizards which can be found throughout Australia.

Polished timber presentation box.

Illustrated presentation card.

$59.00

Goannas are capable of swimming, and can also climb trees. They will move quickly when pressed, often sprinting short distances to escape harm. Goannas will rear up when threatened, and also inflate flaps of skin around their throats and emit a harsh hissing noise.

Second Coin in Series

The Third Largest Cat in the World The jaguar is the third largest feline in the world after the tiger and the lion, and the largest in the Americas. Jaguars are spotted cats, similar in appearance to leopards; however, they are generally larger and more strongly built, with behaviours closer to that of the tiger.

Jaguar cubs are born with their eyelids sealed shut. After about two weeks, the young are able to see for the first time, and after six months, the cubs' mother will teach them how to hunt. When they are two years old, the cubs will leave their mother to live on their own.

The Universal Language Love is a powerful emotion which affects us all, bringing joy and empowering us to do incredible things. There are more than 6,500 spoken languages in the world and more than seven billion people living on our magnificent planet. While we may speak thousands of different languages, no matter where you are in the world, the language of love is the one language that is truly universal.

Deep Space 9

Gold-Pressed Latinum In the science fiction series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, latinum was a rare silver coloured liquid of extremely high value prized by many civilizations in the Alpha Quadrant, particularly the Ferengi Alliance. In order to be used as a tradable currency, liquid latinum was suspended within gold or gold dust to form the end product, gold-pressed latinum.

Captain Kathryn Janeway #15X26DAA

There were several denominations of gold-pressed latinum, the smallest being the slip, followed by the strip, the bar, and the brick. One bar of gold-pressed latinum is equal to twenty strips or 2,000 slips of latinum.

Each denomination features a maker's mark for authenticity.
