We are proud to present the Battle of Jutland, where columns of dreadnought battleships fired tons of heavy metal at each other!

After sparring for nearly two years, with the British maintaining a distant blockade of Germany's seaports, the long expected clash of the two rivals fleets began innocuously enough on the clear afternoon of May 31, 1916 in the North Sea. Soon, the British Grand Fleet, under the command of Admiral Jellicoe, was hotly engaged with the German High Seas Fleet, under Admiral Scheer.

The German fleet was outnumbered, but most analysts consider the quality of their ships (especially their armor) and their level of training to have been superior to the British. As the faster battlecruiser forces engaged first, the British were dealt a cruel blow - one after another, three of their battlecruisers were destroyed by single salvos fired by their German counterparts. However, after Jellicoe and his battleship squadrons arrived on the scene, the punisher became the punished, as his superior numbers pummeled the German fleet. Most amazing of all, though the British lost a total of 3 modern battlecruisers (and 6 capital ships total), the Germans lost only one battlecruiser, Lützow.

This special edition $1 features the highly symbolic coat of arms!
During the Middle Ages, any knight who went into battle needed to distinguish friend from foe and would paint identifying marks on his shield. Later, these markings began appearing on military surcoats and cloaks worn by royal messengers. This is how the Coat of Arms was born - a design of heraldic symbols created to represent a monarchy, a clan, a territory or nation.

Formally known as the Commonwealth Coat of Arms, the Coat of Arms of Australia is the official symbol of the country of Australia. The first official Commonwealth Coat of Arms was granted over 100 years ago, by a Royal Warrant of King Edward VII in 1908. The design comprises a white and blue shield displaying six small escutcheons and a cross of St. George featuring five six-pointed white stars.

Above the shield (with its supporters of a red kangaroo and an emu standing on a grassy mound) is the crest containing the seven-pointed gold "Star of Federation" (also known as the "Commonwealth Star") on a wreath of white and blue. Six of the Star's points represent the six original States of Australia, while the seventh point represents the Commonwealth Territories (and any future states). The motto "Advance Australia" is inscribed on a scroll at the base of the shield. This is the coat of arms that appears on the obverse of this coin.

Golden Age of Piracy - Henry Morgan
Shiver me timbers! The mere mention of the word "pirate" conjures up mental images of scalawags with eye patches, peg legs, hooks, nose rings, earrings, and parrots, shouting, waving cutlasses and the Jolly Roger! The Perth Mint of Australia has done Henry Morgan, the world's most merciless buccaneer, proud. The notorious pirate is depicted in a dramatic portrait (drawn from original source material!) with his ship in the background riding at anchor. The color image depicts a pirate's treasure chest, as well as two barrels (hogsheads) and a bottle of rum. Best of all is the price - it won't cost you a hostage's ransom to get this affordable, full color dollar!

Born around 1635, Henry Morgan was a Welsh privateer who organized daring buccaneer raids along the Spanish Main from his base in Jamaica. His actions gained him the reputation of a barbarous and pitiless pirate who engaged in the use of much cruelty and torture.

Following the sacking of Panama, Morgan was arrested and accused of violating the tentative peace with Spain. Yet when he reached London, he was acclaimed as a hero. Pretending he had no knowledge of the treaty, Morgan escaped the hangman's noose and was knighted by King Charles II! He returned to Jamaica as Lieutenant Governor, an unbelievable end to his career!

Best of all is the price - you won't need a chest full of booty to get this affordable, full color dollar! Get it now at our low, introductory price!

Celebrate the most friendly Year of the Rabbit with this assortment of pure silver and gold proof coins from the Perth Mint!

In 2011 we celebrate the Year of the Rabbit. According to tradition, people born during a Year of the Rabbit (1915, 1927, 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, and 2011) are said to exhibit that animal’s attributes. They are sociable, amiable, and artistic, and are often shy, soft-spoken and cautious. They are often noted for their elegance and good taste. Rabbits can be moody, superficial and self-centered, as well.

This year's design features a charming scene of a protective mother rabbit and her young bunny sheltering in their den. The Rabbit is the fourth annual release in the new Lunar Series II zodiac program that began in 2008.
