2008 Australian Antarctic Territory
Humpback Whale
1oz Silver Proof Dollar Coin

The Humpback Whale is known for its long, complex songs and unusual water acrobatics, the Humpback whale is perhaps the most interesting of the whales. Frequently spotted in shallow waters near coastlines, Humpbacks migrate seasonally from polar feeding grounds in summer to tropical and subtropical breeding locations in winter. While the Humpback whale is graceful they are slow and fat, because of this the humpback whales were targeted by whalers, and were killed by open boat whalers with hand harpoons in the 19th century. However, they survived in numbers until the 1950s and 1960s when illegal whaling reduced their numbers to near-extinction.

This 1oz silver proof coin struck by the Perth Mint is housed in a blue-coloured presentation case, which comes within a stylish outer shipper. A Numbered Certificate of Authenticity accompanies each coin. The Humpback whale silver coin is limited to only 7,500 coins.
