2015 Australian Mother of Pearl Shell 1oz Silver Proof Coin

Mother of pearl is a hard, smooth, shining iridescent substance that forms the inner layer of the shells of certain molluscs, such as the oyster and abalone. It displays a mix of colours, ranging from deep cobalt blue and peacock green, through to hues of purple, cream and pink.

No more than 3,000 of the 2015 Australian White Mother of Pearl Shell 1oz Silver Coin will be released by The Perth Mint.

The reverse of the coin features a sculpted representation of an Australian white mother of pearl shell with a polished fragment of mother-of-pearl centrepiece, against a rippled pattern representing the ocean floor.

Each coin is presented in a prestigious display case within a beautifully illustrated shipper and is accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
