2014 The Land Down Under - Rock Fishing 1oz Silver Proof Coin

The fourth and final design in the 2014 The Land Down Under series.

Isolated locations, slippery and uneven surfaces, and the unpredictable nature of the ocean, make rock fishing the most dangerous sport in Australia. Yet despite many reports which detail fishermen being swept to their untimely demise, the exhilaration of the pastime makes it an extremely popular activity across Australia and New Zealand.

The Perth Mint will release no more than 5,000 of The Land Down Under – Rock Fishing 1oz Silver Proof Coins.

The design of the silver coin depicts a fisherman reeling in his catch from a rock platform in colour, framed within the shape of Australia.

Each coin is housed in a unique Australian map-shaped latex case with a stylised shipper, and is accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
