Description

The Perth Mint has released a tribute to the contribution of Husky dogs in the Antarctic. Australia kept huskies on the icy continent for almost 40 years beginning in 1954 with the opening of Mawson Station.

As well as proving to be hard-working, reliable forms of transport, they were also loyal companions and much-loved by Australian Antarctic expeditioners. The coin's reverse depicts a team of huskies pulling a sled with a coloured Antarctic sky in the background. The design, which also incorporates a coloured image of a husky appears within the shape of the Antarctic continent. 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 husky silver coin is limited to only 7,500 coins.
