Australia's highest profile rarity, sought after by collector and investor alike, it is the coin everybody wants in his or her collection - and now you can. A unique, exclusive tribute to the 75th Anniversary of Australia's number one numismatic icon. This superb commemorative coin offers you the chance to enjoy this most famous of Australian coins. The Perth Mint has made every effort possible to make the 1930 Penny 75th Anniversary $1 1oz Silver Proof an absolutely authentic tribute to Australia's most illustrious coin. Using designs taken from an original example of the 1930 Penny to ensure complete accuracy, the Mint has also broken new ground with its use of copper plating. Only recently mastering the art, the Mint's important technical innovation has taken Australian numismatics to a new level. This is the first time Australia's most celebrated copper coin has been honoured in such an appropriate fashion - crafted from pure 99.9% silver and then enhanced with a rich copper finish. Very exclusive, the 1930 Penny 75th Anniversary $1 1oz Silver Proof has been restricted to a limited mintage of just 5,000 coins. With the profile of the original 1930 Penny so strong outside the collecting arena, there is no doubt that this exquisite precious metal commemorative will catch the eye of a broad cross section of the community. Produced under the Authority of the Tuvalu Islands.
