Aussie!
Aussie! Aussie!
Kookaburra! Koala! Kangaroo! Get these icons of the Australian outback
in full color - while the extremely limited mintage holds out!
Aussie! Aussie! Aussie! Or
should we cheer, Kookaburra! Koala!
Kangaroo!
Talisman Coins and the Perth Mint are proud to bring you this
prestigious animal set, featuring three national symbols of the Great
Southern Continent! In a mint first, all three pure silver critters are
collected together - and in glorious, vibrant
color!
The kangaroo, koala and kookaburra are the three iconic animals of the
Land Down Under. Now you can own the holy trinity of Australian fauna,
for the first time together in full color! Don't delay, with a total
mintage of only 5,000 sets, and such an affordable price, we expect
collectors to add these to their numismatic zoo faster than you can
cheer Aussie! Aussie! Aussie!
Investment Note We like this set for
several
reasons. Each crown-sized coin is large (36.60 mm diameter), struck in pure
silver, and is very
handsomely colored.
Animals
represent the absolutely most popular theme with collectors, and this
set has the three most popular and iconic Aussie animals of them all!
Finally, the mintage
limit for this 3-Coin Pure Silver Set is disturbingly low
-
only 5,000. Don't
delay, we recommend this first-time-ever set today!
Technology
Note The Perth Mint of Australia employs its own proprietary
colorization technology, in which the color is actually sealed on the
coin. The vibrant hues and precise execution of the technology create a
stunning, full-color portrait on each coin.
The artistic and
skillfully rendered
design of each coin encompasses three different, iconic animals, each
portrayed in full color. The
legends denote the theme (AUSTRALIAN KANGAROO, AUSTRALIAN KOALA, and
AUSTRALIAN KOOKABURRA), while
the legend 1/2 OZ 99.9
SILVER guarantees the weight and purity. The Perth Mint "P" mint mark
also appears.
Reverse
Her Majesty, Queen
Elizabeth II of England, in crowned profile facing
right. This portrait, featuring Her Majesty wearing a tiara and pearl
earrings, was executed by the sculptor Ian Rank-Broadley. The
legend ELIZABETH II and denomination also
appear.
The coins are
encapsulated
inside a
handsome taupe leatherette, clamshell-style presentation case, lined
with black velvet and satin, and protected by a full-color outer box.
An individually-numbered certificate of authenticity is included.
