2021 Great Southern Land Mother of Pearl 1oz Silver Proof Coin

This beautiful coin features the great southern Australian continent in stunning Australian mother of pearl.

The Australian coastline extends for approximately 34,000 kilometres. It is bordered in the west by the Indian Ocean and to the east by the Pacific Ocean. Tropical waters of the Timor, Arafura and Coral Seas lap the north coast, while the cold waters of the Southern Ocean lie to the south. Over millennia, Aboriginal Australians forged deep cultural connections not just with their lands, but also the surrounding seas and the extraordinary diversity of wildlife they support.

The Perth Mint will release no more than 5,000 of the Great Southern Land 2021 1oz Silver Proof Mother of Pearl Coin.

The coin's reverse features a central mother of pearl insert in the shape of the Australian continent. It is encircled with representations of iconic marine creatures found in Australian waters, including a great white shark, sea turtle, seahorse, blue-ringed octopus, starfish and stingray.

The coin is housed in a classic display case with a clear lid. Packaged with an illustrated shipper, each coin is accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
