Extremely popular, these animal-themed, rectangular (ingot) shaped pure gold coins were designed by Native Australian artist Darryl Bellotti, creator of the Discover Australia - The Dreaming series (and the Gold Koalas, above).

2009 ANA Special Edition 2-Coin Kookaburra Set - Limited Edition of 2,000

Special ANA Los Angeles Edition 2 Coin Kookaburra Set
Two sold-out Kookaburras + a mintage of only 2,000 = a great investment!
To celebrate the ANA's "World's Fair of Money" (the world's largest coin show and numismatic event), the Perth Mint and Talisman Coins are proud to offer this unique and truly scarce precious metals set, with a total mintage of only 2,000!

Sold Out Each set contains one each of the 2008 Kookaburra and 2009 Kookaburra 1 Ounce Pure Silver Coins - both of which are completely and utterly sold out at the Mint! The 2009 Kookaburra is the 20th anniversary coin, with the special "P20" mint mark, too! The sets are individually serial numbered and feature the high quality packaging one expects from Australia's precious metal experts. Each oversize, full-color presentation package encapsulates the two coins and depicts two kookaburras, Australia's most recognizable bird.

Limit Notice - Because of the extremely limited number of these sets we were able to acquire, we have a strict limit of 6 sets per customer, address, email address, credit card, etc. We hope that this discourages profiteering, encourages a fairer distribution, and allows everyone a chance to get these sets before we, too, run out!


2009 Famous Battles of History - Battle of Hastings 1066 AD Pure Silver Color Proof $1

Famous Battles - Hastings
William The Conquerer takes England!
Talk about battles that change the course of history! Before the Battle of Hastings, England was a country ruled by Anglo-Saxon royalty. After Hastings, the new Norman regime completely replaced the previous aristocracy with their own, and introduced a decidedly Continental element to the island. Others have tried since, but Hastings was the last time that England was successfully invaded and conquered!

The Battle of Hastings, fought on 14 October 1066, was the decisive victory in the Norman Conquest of England, waged between the Norman army of William the Conqueror, and the English army led by Harold II Godwinson. This beautiful coin depicts a Norman knight with lance charging the hapless Anglo-Saxons, as well as the section of the Bayeux Tapestry in which Harold is killed (by an arrow through the eye - ouch!).


We expect the Battle of Hastings Silver $1 Proof to Sell Out at the Mint at any time now! Our below issue price absolutely will not last much longer!


2009 Battle of Poltava & Czar Peter the Great Silver $1 Reverse Proof with Color

Tuvalu 2009 Battle of Poltava & Czar Peter the Great Silver $1
Czar Peter the Great leads his army!
Peter was truly a hands-on commander. Today it would be unthinkable for the leader of a Great Power to personally command his or her troops in battle, but that's exactly what Peter the Great, Czar and first Emperor of Russia, did at the Battle of Poltava! He led 53,000 troops, more than two and a half times the 19,000 employed by the Swedes.

After several attacks faltered, Peter ordered his infantry to advance out of their positions. With longer lines than the Swedes, a classic flanking maneuver was executed, with the Russian cavalry harassing the Swedes until their lines were overrun. So great was Sweden's defeat that the colloquialism, "Like a Swede at Poltava" remains a simile for "completely defeated" in Russian!


The Battle of Poltava Pure Silver Coin is not technically part of the ongoing Famous Battles of History series like Hastings above, but it might as well be. This dynamic coin will sit happily with the other Famous Battles in your collection!


2009 Transformers $1 Silver Proofs with Color

MegatronRobots in Disguise!
If you were a kid in the 1980s or 90s, chances are you watched the animated show Transformers on television. The courageous Autobots, under their heroic leader Optimus Prime, battle the evil Decepticons, led by the nefarious Megatron. The wow factor was certainly high - each of the robots was able to transform into a cool vehicle!

Optimus PrimeTime travel forward (like any good sci-fi action hero) to 2009, and chances are very good that you saw the summer's biggest blockbuster, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, the sequel to 2007's Transformers. To date, Revenge of the Fallen has grossed nearly $900 million dollars world wide, making it one of the top ten grossing films of all time! We are proud to offer the ultimate film / numismatic crossover collectibles: two low-mintage (only 5,000 each!) proof silver dollars in color, both sold out at the Mint!

2009 Transformers - MegatronSold OutMegatron

2009 Transformers - Optimus PrimeSold OutOptimus Prime
Optimus Prime (depicted in full color), noble leader of the Autobots, strikes a dynamic and heroic pose above the Autobots logo.  Unlike most modern movie collectibles, the two Transformers silver proofs (Megatron and Optimus Prime) have a strictly limited mintage of only 5,000 each. Considering that they come from one of the most successful Hollywood franchises of all time, we like the prospects for future appreciation!

Both gold koala proofs are at introductory, below-issue prices!

Regular Price $109.95 - Special SALE Price Only $89.95 Each!

Kangaroo & Turtle Dreaming Pure Silver 1 Ounce Rectangular Proofs

Enter the Dreaming with these affordable, rectangular, animal-themed proofs!
The designer of these unique rectangular coins is none other than Darryl Bellotti, who also designed the Australian Koala coins. He is an indigenous or native Australian, what we call an Aborigine, who for generations untold coexisted with the endemic Australian animals, hunting them as necessary but always respecting their Spirits. This coin symbolizes the hunter's entering the Dreaming.

Each rectangular proof is Australian legal tender with a face value of $1, minted in pure silver with a aboriginal animal design. All are housed in a handsome presentation folder with a full-color outer sleeve. For more details on the Dreaming or the coins, just click any of the links!

Kangaroo Dreaming Silver
Kangaroo & Turtle Dreaming Pure Gold Rectangular Proofs

Aboriginal rock art
Discover the Dreamtime with these pure gold rectangular proofs!
There is huge international interest in Australian Indigenous art. Created through the millennia on stone and rocks, on bark, on canvas and in sculpture, the oldest ongoing artistic tradition in the world stretches back tens of thousands of years!

The aboriginal art depicts the animal surrounded by patterns that create a unique story background reminiscent of the Dreamtime. The design around each animal represents the knowledge of the hunter - the dots are the hunter's footprints along the path, while the ringed circles symbolize the locations where the huntsman stops to ensnare his prey.

The Turtle and Kangaroo Dreaming Gold coins are each available in 3 sizes. We are pleased to offer all below their Mint-issue prices.
