This is the fourth coin in a hugely innovative and popular series.
In the "Treasures of Australia" series, the Perth Mint has united two of the world's most coveted sources of real wealth - precious metals and gemstones.
The coin's reverse depicts a stylised representation of the source of the beautiful gold nuggets contained within this coin - the harsh and unforgiving Australian outback, with the sun beating down mercilessly on the barren landscape. Set within this vignette is a transparent capsule containing mini gold nuggets, representing the treasure buried beneath the rock and sand.
The obverse of the coin shows the portrait of the Queen above the clear capsule containing the gold nuggets.
Gold has been used as a measure of wealth and revered as an object of beauty by every civilisation on Earth since the dawn of time. Yet rarely does it remain in its natural form. Even wealthy individuals - those who own large amounts of gold jewellery; coins and even bars - rarely possess gold in its pristine alluvial state.
Yet each natural gold nugget has an appeal unique unto itself a shape, a colour and a composition that could only possibly be created by the awesome power of the earth. To hold a natural gold nugget is to come into contact with the product of a force of nature, it is a souvenir of a time before dinosaurs roamed the earth of a time even before the creation of the Australian continent.
As a general rule, natural gold nuggets range in purity between 75% and 95% pure. The exact amount is determined by the amount and type of base / precious metal(s) it was formed with, and the amount of host rock remaining in the specimen.
The coin is presented inside an elegant, luxury presentation case with a native Australian jarrah wood lid, and is protected by a full-colour outer box.
An individually-numbered certificate of authenticity is also included.
