Description

Every season in Australia is more beautiful than the next and this beauty has been captured in brilliant color by The Perth Mint’s Australian Seasons series.

 

The possum is a small to medium-sized marsupial native to Australia. Usually active at night and preferring to sleep during the day, this creature nests high up in the trees.

 

Inspired by the rare coin designs of yesteryear, this innovative square-shaped coin is the first release in this outstanding new series.  Discover the magic of autumn, with the stunning second release from the Australian Seasons series. Taking place from March to May, autumn’s cooler temperatures, glorious sunsets, and golden leaves make this season a wonder to behold.

 

Proof Quality 99.9% Pure Silver - The coin is struck by The Perth Mint from 1oz of 99.9% pure silver in proof quality.

 

Superb Square Design - Captured in brilliant color, the coin’s reverse depicts an Australian possum against the background of an autumn bush sunset.  Gumnuts and leaves, the inscription AUTUMN and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark are also incorporated into the design.

 

Limited Mintage - No more than 5,000 of these coins will be issued by The Perth Mint.

 

Australian Legal Tender - Issued as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965, the coin depicts the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and monetary denomination on the obverse.

 

Presentation Packaging - The coin is housed in a contemporary display case, allowing a clear view of the reverse and obverse, and comes packaged inside a beautifully illustrated shipper.

“Unsearched” — All of the coins offered in this listing are “unsearched”.  Many coin dealers “search” all coins when they are received from the Mint.  They "cherry-pick" the best coins.  Then submit them to be graded, certified, and slabbed by PCGS, NGC, ANACS, etc.  These graded and certified coins are then sold at higher, premium prices.  When a dealer searches coins, those that they sell in original Mint packaging are only lesser quality coins.

Photos: When a listing offers multiples of the same coin, one coin is picked at random and photographed.  Since all coins offered in that listing are essentially identical, the coin photographed is representative of all coins offered.

Surface areas that appear black on some proof coin photos are actually highly polished, mirror-bright metal reflecting the color of the camera. We often include proof coin photos with the coin slightly tilted to better depict the mirror bright surfaces.  However, tilting the coin may resulting one side being slightly out of focus.

Our goal is to provide clear, high definition photos that accurately represent the coin(s) offered in each of our eBay listings.  Whenever possible, we use actual photos of our coins, rather than just stock artwork from the Mint.  We frequently update and upgrade the photos that appear with our listings, using improved cameras and lenses and better lighting.  We will honor your requests for additional photos as quickly as our schedule permits.
