The third coin in the Perth Mint's popular Antarctic silver coin series.
The third release from The Perth Mint's popular Australian Antarctic Territory Series celebrates the establishment 20 years ago of the Edgeworth David summer base, which lies 85 kilometres inland from the Shackleton Ice Shelf in the Bunger Hills area.
The base is named in honour of Australian geologist and explorer Sir Tannant William Edgeworth David, who led the first successful ascent of Mount Erebus, Antarctica’s only active volcano, and led the first team to reach the Magnetic South Pole during Shackleton’s famous expedition of 1907.
The main design, which appears within the outline of Antarctica, is symbolic of the site of Edgeworth David, where permanent sea ice is suitable for use as an aircraft runway.
Coloured elements include an Albatross and its chick, as well as the inscriptions ‘EDGEWORTH DAVID BASE:1986-2006’, ‘Australian Antarctic Territory’ and the Mint’s traditional ‘P’ mintmark.
The coin is packaged in a blue lacquered metal presentation case, accompanied by a Numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
