Description

OPALPLUS HAS BEEN PURCHASER OF PERTH MINT COINS SINCE 1980S

IN AUGUST 2007 WE WERE APPROVED AS AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR PERTH MINT AUSTRALIA .

Proof Quality 99.99% Pure Gold

 

 

 

These 2008-dated coins are struck from 1/2oz, 1/10oz and 1/25oz of 99.99% pure gold in proof quality. (1/2oz denomination used in obverse illustration.)

 

 

 

Fauna Theme – Dolphin

 

 

 

The reverse of each coin depicts two Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops truncatus), highly social animals inhabiting bays and estuaries all around Australia. Their ever-smiling appearance suggests a fun-loving nature that is seemingly confirmed by frequent tail slapping, wake-riding and general playfulness. Extremely smart, they are believed to be able to communicate with each other using high frequency whistles, clicks and squeaks. The year-date and The Perth Mint's traditional ‘P’ mintmark also appear in the design.

 

 

 

Australian Legal Tender

 

 

 

Issued as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965, the coins depict Ian Rank-Broadley's effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse.

 

 

 

Uniquely Australian Packaging

 

 

 

Each coin is housed in a superb presentation case with a lid made from Australian jarrah timber. The case comes in a protective outer shipper featuring Discover Australia's distinctive logo.

 

 

 

Numbered Certificate of Authenticity

 

 

 

Each coin is accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.

 

 

 

Limited Mintage
